WHAT IS A LAXATIVE?
While most people know what laxatives are, most probably don't know precisely how they work inside the body. They are used to promote regular bowel movements and relieve constipation. They do this by increasing the frequency of bowel movements and/or by softening the stool, making it easier to pass. Various types of laxatives exist, each with its mechanism of action. They include:
Bulk-forming laxatives contain fibre that absorbs water, increasing the bulk of the stool and stimulating bowel movements. They are considered some of the gentlest and safest types of laxatives.
Osmotic laxatives draw water into the colon, softening the stool and promoting bowel movements. These can be divided into saline laxatives (
magnesium
citrate) and non-absorbable sugar alcohols (lactulose and sorbitol).
Stimulant laxatives – these laxatives irritate the intestinal lining, which causes muscle contractions and promotes bowel movements. They are usually used for short-term relief and include substances like
senna
and
cascara
sagrada.
Stool softeners – these laxatives enable water and fats to penetrate the stool, making it softer and easier to pass. Docusate
sodium
is a commonly used stool softener.
Lubricant laxatives coat the stool with a slippery substance, such as mineral oil, allowing it to move through the intestines more easily.
Choosing Between Natural and Conventional Laxatives
Many laxatives are available over the counter in pharmacies, and many others are sold under prescription for more robust constipation relief. Conventional laxatives are typically synthetic or chemically formulated substances.
Natural laxatives, on the other hand, while having similar mechanisms of action, relieve constipation with the use of natural compounds that promote constipation relief and regular bowel movements. Some of the most commonly used natural laxatives are:
Aloe vera
is both soothing and can also act as a natural laxative. Whether taken in juice or gel, it stimulates bowel movements safely and effectively.
cascara
Sagrada
is a bark extract that stimulates the intestines and promotes bowel movements.
Castor Oil
is derived from the seeds of the
Castor Oil
plant (Ricinus communis) and has been used for centuries as a stimulant laxative that stimulates the muscles in the intestines to move stool along and promotes bowel movements.
Flaxseeds
are an excellent dietary fibre source and contain soluble and insoluble fibre. They add bulk to the stool and help promote regular bowel movements.
magnesium
has a laxative effect when taken in higher doses. It draws water into the intestines, softens the stool and promotes bowel movements.
Psyllium Husk
is a soluble fibre derived from the seeds of the Plantago ovate plant. It absorbs water and forms a gel-like substance in the intestines, adding bulk to the stool and promoting regular bowel movements.
Senna
is a stimulant herb that has a profound laxative effect. It stimulates the muscles in the intestines, promoting bowel movements. It is often found in herbal teas or capsules.

Concluding Insights On Natural Laxatives For Improved Digestion
Certain foods, drinks and herbs can make it easier to be regular and prevent constipation. Drinking plenty of fresh, filtered water and adhering to a clean and healthy diet are the best ways to promote regularity. Fruits, leafy
greens
and other veggies, seeds, certain herbs, and probiotic foods are some of the best foods to include in your diet to promote regularity. Fibre, especially insoluble fibre, is also essential to add bulk to the stool, making it easier to pass through the digestive system. This helps to prevent stool from becoming hard and dry, which can contribute to constipation. Fibre also enhances gut motility and serves as food for beneficial gut bacteria, so it helps improves gut health and one's overall health in general.
