Natural laxatives

[Wildthang]

What would you use if you were on an extended wilderness hike and got constipated? Are there plants that help with this? Okay Rick, time for a thread jacking joke😁

Drink some water from a local puddle. Should solve your problem in about 24 hours. Then you will be eating charcoal from the campfire trying to stop the flow.

It would be my luck that I would poop my brains out and couldn’t even find my way home��

Actually, there are some common herbs that will help resolve that. Dandelion, nettle or sorrel used as a tea will help. Obviously, adding more water to your diet helps.

Ha, while working in a medical setting, you see too many things that humans should never have to see, and that humans should never have to endure.

And then there is the fiends of Steve and I, who he and his wife qualified for medicaid after he retired ( she has never worked any paying job other than working the polls at election) and their insurance sent them this prepaid visa card that the insurance would deposit so much money for each preventive medical test they had, including a colonoscopy, we were not spared any details in their day before preparations despite our objections based on TMI.
