Good question! I hadn't thought that far but here are some ideas
Natural Laxatives:
Psylium Husks (powdered capsules)
Prunes/Prune Juice
Nourishing herbs such as Aloe Ferox, Taraxacum officinale (Dandelion), and Passiflora incarnata have
natural laxative properties and also act as a tonic for the liver. Other herbs that may also have a beneficial effect on the digestive system are Psyllium, a natural bulk forming laxative and Cascara and Senna to
stimulate bowel movements.
