Several natural laxatives can help with constipation relief:

1. Senna: Senna is derived from the leaves and fruit of the Senna plant and is widely used for its laxative properties¹². It stimulates the muscles in the gut, typically inducing bowel movements within 6 to 12 hours. Senna is available over-the-counter in various forms, including tablets and syrups³.

2. Cascara Sagrada: Another natural options is Cascara Sagrada, derived from the bark of the Rhamnus purshiana tree. It contains chemicals that stimulate the bowel and produce a laxative effect⁴. However, it should only be used short-term (less than a week) due to potential side effects like stomach discomfort, cramps, and more serious issues such as dehydration and electrolyte imbalance with extended use⁵.

These natural laxatives are popular supplements for constipation and are available in various forms in pharmacies and online.
