Yerbalaxa herbal tea is recommended for the short-term treatment of occasional constipation in adults.
This Yerbalaxa herbal tea is recommended for the short-term treatment of occasional constipation in adults. Yerbalaxa herbal tea is a stimulant laxative, meaning that this blend of herbs alters intestinal fluid and electrolyte balance and stimulates colonic motility.
Buckthorn, whose bark is used in the Yerbalaxa herbal tea blend, is known for its laxative properties. In fact, it contains anthracene glycosides, particularly glucotrangulins A, which work by stimulating colonic motility and promoting bowel movements. Thanks to its minimum concentration of 6% anthracene glycosides, buckthorn effectively helps relieve occasional constipation.
Senna, present in the form of leaves in the Yerbalaxa herbal tea, is a natural laxative widely used for its purgative properties. Its minimum content of 2.5% anthracene glycosides, expressed as sennosides B, makes it a key ingredient in this preparation. By acting directly on the intestinal muscles, senna promotes peristalsis and stimulates bowel movements, which helps effectively relieve constipation.
Mallow, a plant known for its medicinal properties, is added to Yerbalaxa herbal tea for its soothing and emollient effects. Its inclusion in this herbal tea helps alleviate the intestinal irritation often associated with constipation. By promoting lubrication of the intestinal walls, mallow helps make the process of passing stool more comfortable and less irritating to the digestive system.

If it becomes necessary to take laxatives on a daily basis, the causes of the constipation should be investigated.
Hygienic and dietary measures include :
- increasing dietary intake of plant-based products (green vegetables, raw vegetables, wholemeal bread, fruit),
- increasing consumption of water and fruit juices,
- increased physical activity (sport, walking, etc.),

Comme tous les laxatifs stimulants, ce médicament doit être utilisé de façon épisodique et en cure très brève : pas plus de 8 à 10 jours.
Chez l'enfant de plus de 10 ans, ce médicament ne peut être utilisé que de façon exceptionnelle et uniquement sur prescription médicale.
Arrêtez le traitement en cas de diarrhée ou de douleurs abdominales.
Ce médicament peut interagir avec les médicaments susceptibles de provoquer des torsades de pointes.
Informez par ailleurs votre pharmacien ou votre médecin si vous prenez des corticoïdes (sauf traitement local), des diurétiques ou des médicaments contenant de la digoxine, de la digitoxine ou de l'amphotéricine B (par voie intraveineuse).
Ce médicament est déconseillé pendant la grossesse ou l'allaitement.
Préparer une infusion avec un sachet-dose pour une tasse d'eau bouillante. Laisser infuser quelques minutes.
Le traitement de la constipation repose essentiellement sur des mesures hygiénodiététiques : alimentation riche en fibres, eau de boisson riche en magnésium, activité physique régulière et amélioration de la position sur les toilettes.
Ce médicament peut colorer les urines (de jaune-brun à rouge-brun), ce qui ne doit pas vous inquiéter.
Diarrhée, douleurs abdominales.
Ralentissement du transit intestinal se traduisant par la raréfaction des selles.

Besoin psychique ou physique entraîné par la prise de certaines substances naturelles ou médicamenteuses. Cet état peut s'accompagner, à l'arrêt des prises, de symptômes variés, regroupés sous le terme de syndrome de sevrage.
Déficit de l'organisme en eau, dû à des pertes anormales de liquides (diarrhée, vomissements, transpiration abondante).
Le sens médical strict de diarrhée est « émission de selles trop fréquentes et trop abondantes ». En fait, le sens commun assimile la diarrhée à la notion de selles liquides et fréquentes. Normalement, les selles sont pâteuses, mais l'émission de selles liquides ou à peine formées, sans douleur ou trouble particulier associé, n'est pas pathologique. On peut parler de diarrhée lorsque les émissions de selles liquides se répètent dans la journée, et que les besoins sont impérieux ou douloureux.
Beaucoup de médicaments peuvent accélérer le transit intestinal et rendre les selles plus liquides, sans que cet effet indésirable soit réellement préoccupant.
Les antibiotiques peuvent altérer la flore digestive, indispensable à la digestion, et provoquer des diarrhées plus ou moins gênantes mais bénignes. L'effet apparaît immédiatement ou après quelques jours de traitement. Une forme de diarrhée grave et exceptionnelle, la colite pseudomembraneuse, peut être observée après un traitement antibiotique ; cette affection se traduit par l'émission de glaires et de fausses membranes (ressemblant à des lambeaux de peau) associées à des douleurs abdominales ; une constipation peut remplacer la diarrhée initiale. La colite pseudomembraneuse peut survenir plusieurs jours après l'arrêt du traitement antibiotique et nécessite un avis médical urgent.

Bouchon de selles dans le rectum ou dans le côlon. Il est à redouter chez les personnes âgées ou constipées, ou celles qui restent longtemps alitées. Il expose à un risque d'obstruction du tube digestif.
Mode de préparation de la plupart des tisanes ; ce procédé permet d'extraire les substances contenues dans les plantes en versant de l'eau bouillante sur celles-ci. Cette technique est différente de la macération et de la décoction.
Laxatif puissant mais irritant pour le tube digestif, responsable d'une perte de sels minéraux (potassium, etc.) par l'organisme. Son usage prolongé provoque une dépendance : il n'est plus possible d'aller à la selle sans médicament. À long terme, des lésions définitives de la paroi interne de l'intestin peuvent apparaître (maladie des laxatifs).
Élément minéral présent en grande quantité dans l'organisme.

Substance chimique dont la plus connue est le chlorure de sodium, ou sel de table. Le sel de régime ne contient pas de sodium ; celui-ci est remplacé généralement par du potassium.
