My mom needs to know what is a good natural laxative to cleanse?

Answer 1

Psyllium Husk is a great natural laxative. It works by absorbing fluid and forming a 'bulk' and moving it out of the system. She must drink lots of water to help the process, otherwise it won't work as well.

You can get it from pharmacies or supermarkets. In Australia is is sold as Metamucil. Do read all the instructions and be aware that some people can have any allergy to pysllium. Check with her first.

Answer 2

Tea from senna leaves always seems to work. It is the main ingredient in most of the laxative pills on the market. In the carribean we boil the leaves, then drink it plain. Hope this helps

Answer 3

Prune juice or drink Dr Pepper every day, it keeps you cleansed naturally.
