Laxatives can have a lot of serious side effects that make it dangerous to your overall health, including:
Addiction. Stimulants can be habit-forming and anorexia is a known eating disorder linked to laxative abuse. In time, treatment of constipation will be necessary when you don't take a laxative to have a normal bowel movement. This is because the normal Peristaltic Action will not initiate without a laxative after an extended use.
Colon Muscle Damage. After prolonged use, the muscles in the colon may become permanently damaged by laxative abuse.
Constipation. That's right, laxatives made with stimulants will cause dehydration which is a huge cause of constipation problems.
What is the best to use? A natural colon cleanser, preferably Oxygen based (doesn't give stomachaches that some people experience from herbal type). The colon is the foundation to the rest of the body and needs to be working optimally.
