Tamarind is a fruit that is popular in the foods of Southeast Asia, North Africa and India.
I have discovered a simple tea that brings tremendous relief to gallstone pain and is an all-around healthy drink to boot. Flaxseed Tea. All you have to do is get your hands on a bag of golden flax seeds from the healthfood store. I found adding a stick of cinnamon while it steeps adds a nice flavor.
If you opt for flaxseed as a constipation remedy, you should remember that flaxseed oil is different from the actual flaxseeds, which are available as whole or crushed seeds; flaxseed oil is not a constipation remedy. Stimulant herbs for constipation include senna, Cascara segrada, and aloe. One reason to think twice before using herbs for constipation is that the stimulant laxatives, particularly aloe, can cause cramping. Herbalists typically recommend a less powerful stimulant like senna before suggesting aloe.
