Can herbs help with constipation?
Can herbs help with constipation?
Yes. Different types of herbal laxatives work in different ways:
- Stimulant laxatives (e.g., Senna, Cascara Sagrada) stimulate the intestinal nerves, increasing muscle contractions to speed up bowel movements. They act fairly quickly (within 6–12 hours) but can sometimes cause cramping and are best used short-term. Aloe latex works in a similar way. The Intestinal Detox Formula #1 from Eden Healthfoods contains many of these herbs, plus carminatives to ease griping, and bitters to stimulate digestive function.
- Bulk-forming laxatives (e.g., Flaxseed, Psyllium Husk) add fiber and bulk to the stool, which stimulates natural movement of the bowel. They are gentle, support long-term regularity, and can be used daily if tolerated with adequate water intake.
- Demulcent herbs (e.g., Slippery Elm, Marshmallow Root) coat and soothe the digestive tract, add moisture, and make stool easier to pass. They’re particularly helpful for people with dry or irritated bowels.
