Teas for helping to ease constipation are not safe for regular daily use. If you are suffering from regular constipation, please increase fiber in your diet with vegetables and whole grains. Consider increasing consumption of high-magnesium foods (pepitas, almonds, spinach, dark chocolate) and fluids as well as dried fruits like prunes and raisins to help balance your digestive system. Don’t ever forget the power of fresh fruits to facilitate regular bowel movements.
