Tag: Laxative properties

According to ancient Ayurvedic texts, the cassia fruit, particularly from the Cassia fistula tree, is referred to as "Aragvadha," meaning "disease killer". This revered natural remedy has been used for centuries, with its mild but potent laxative properties being one of its most well-known benefits for digestive health.

Historically, certain aloe preparations were widely used for digestive issues, but in 2002, the U.S. FDA issued a ruling requiring manufacturers to remove aloe latex from over-the-counter laxative products due to a lack of safety data. This decision was based on mounting safety concerns surrounding the specific part of the aloe plant that is a laxative.
