In this quick podcast, I’m going to share with you the 7 best natural laxatives. If you’re constipated, it could be that the problem that you have is mainly in the large intestine more than the small intestine. The large intestine has smooth muscle that allows it to contract and push food along the tract. 

The best natural laxatives:
1. Senna 
2. Cascara sagrada 
3. Black psyllium (swells with water)
4. Castor oil 
5. Magnesium 
6. Vegetables (fermented)
7. Probiotics 

People often say they don’t want to take a laxative because they may be addicting. But, the toxic effect of having chronic constipation can be very dangerous to the body vs. the minor side effect of taking a laxative. 

You might experience a small drop in potassium from taking a laxative, but you can easily take more potassium. Ultimately, you want to correct what’s really causing the constipation, which usually is what you’re eating, or a lack of friendly bacteria.
