Laxative Herbal Tea: What It Is

The laxative herbal tea, or wellness tea, can promote not only intestinal motility but also regulate and protect the intestines and stomach from irritation caused by strain, thanks to the soothing action of chamomile and the anti-inflammatory properties of mallow. The laxative herbal tea should be taken with one cup a day, in the evening before going to bed.

Ingredients of the Herbal Tea

The Terza Luna laxative herbal tea is composed of ingredients that ensure its effectiveness, such as:

• Mallow;
• Chamomile;
• Cultivated Senna;
• Wild Harvested Buckthorn.

STUDIES AND BIBLIOGRAPHIC SOURCES

Stress, increasingly fast-paced lifestyles, irregular schedules, and meals can be some of the main causes of constipation.
In cases of constipation, some plants with their beneficial properties prove to be a valid natural remedy to help intestinal activities.
These are the ingredients we have chosen for our herbal tea:

• Senna is a plant that has always been used for its laxative properties, and we cite some in vivo studies.
• Buckthorn has a series of interesting properties for the intestines, such as anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and anti-arthritic, but its main use is due to the hydroxyanthracene derivatives that stimulate peristalsis. Additionally, due to their properties in aiding normal intestinal function, HADs are widely used in constipation as pharmacological drugs and dietary supplements. Recently, they have been scrutinized by EFSA for supposed toxicity, found only in isolated molecules and not in the phytocomplex (i.e., the whole plant), as highlighted in the study we cite below.
• Malva sylvestris is a medicinal plant traditionally used as an anti-ulcer, laxative, and anti-hemorrhoid, in addition to its culinary use as food in cooking. In the work we cite below, it is suggested that this plant has a potent effect against constipation induced by loperamide, partly through an increase in gastrointestinal motility, stimulation of intestinal water secretion, and its antioxidant properties.

For correct use of the herbal tea for constipation, and especially to avoid problems such as stomach pain, excessive evacuation, and abdominal bloating, it should be taken in the evening, shortly before going to bed. The laxative action of the herbal tea to regulate the intestines will manifest within the next 12-36 hours.

How Much to Drink?

Intestinal problems are usually due to an irritated colon, and to avoid further discomfort, it is advisable to gradually consume laxative teas. You could start with once a day, provided that its intake is combined with a healthy diet. Drinking it in excessive quantities could be harmful, especially if senna is present. A maximum intake period of one week is recommended to avoid a lack of important nutrients.
