I prefer a senna tea for constipation. Works every time!

Traditionally, castor oil has been used to apply directly to the skin in instances of burns, sunburns, cuts, or abrasions. As a laxative, castor oil should generally be used only when your doctor recommends it, like after a surgery and/or during times when you shouldn't strain to have a bowel movement. Plus, it shouldn't be used regularly as it can lead to serious problems if it's used regularly. That said, I've never personally tried using castor oil for constipation (I don't like the prospect of throwing up).

The digestive system is one of the most important body systems, simply because it processes foods through chemical and mechanical digestion, and it transport nutrients to the blood to sustain life. A healthy digestive system is one of the key components to achieving optimal health, yet it is one area of the body that is ignored and to which so many pay little attention. It is not surprising that so many North Americans are having quite the challenge experiencing bowel movements with any regularity. An activity that should be done without effort, assuming the mechanical action is happening, has become a source of great discomfort. Some may find it embarrassing to have discussions pertaining to the topic of colon health; however, this condition needs to be addressed before the condition deteriorates. I dont know whether or not you are familiar with the Aloe Vera Gel but many have found tremendous relief from using this liquid that cleanses that intestinal walls. I never had chronic constipation but since I started drinking it I have also experienced better bowel movement. You can reply directly to me and I can provide you with more info.

You should try dieting teas... they usually make you have to go to the restroom and ease with it
