Safety Review: Senna "Laxative" Tea - Dr. Gary Sy

People who may want to try laxative tea o tablets (senna) should be aware of concerns about its use. They should stop taking the supplement if there are signs of side effects and report any signs of side effects to their doctor. In some cases, laxative (with senna) may be used for a longer period of time when a person is under the care of a healthcare provider. Be aware that when used for extended periods of time, senna may have more severe side effects.

[@whereisnemo9272]

I have been drinking a smoothie that I make myself with fruits and veggies every morning the past 7 years and don't have any problem with digestion. On occasion I would feel constipated, but it doesn't last very long. I also do cardio every morning. I stay away from quick fixes such as these laxative tea because they have side effects. It's better to stick with a healthy diet and exercise.

[@jp6721]

ANG GALING NI DOC 👏❤
