If you are not having at least one bowel movement per day, it would be good to work on regaining colon regularity for your health and weight management. There are quite a few modes to cure your constipation:

Laxative teas and capsules. The herbs cascara sagrada and senna are the chemical base of many commercial laxatives. For instance, Ex-Lax, is merely a small amount of the herb senna covered in tasty chocolate. Of these two herbs, senna will be given to induce occasional cramping. If you plan to use an herbal laxative for a long period of time, select cascara sagrada. Both herbs can be found in capsule form. Take these herbs at bed time if you need a morning bowel movement.

Enemas. If you wish rapid relief from constipation, enemas are the best colon stimulative. You can get an enema bag or a prepackaged Fleet enema. Both are safe to utilize on a sporadic basis, but you should not exceed once per week.

Colonics. The colonic is a more engaged type of enema, administrated by a qualified professional, in which water is moved in and out repeatedly. A colonic irrigation gives your colon a good cleansing and will firm up the muscles in your lower intestines. Colonics should not be done more than once every month.
