How to soften hard stools? Try this ancient tea….
In the modern pace of life and eating habits, constipation is a common and unpleasant phenomenon that makes everyday life difficult for many. Fortunately, nature has given us a plant with a long tradition of use that effectively but mildly promotes healthy digestion and regular bowel movements – trušchika or Latin Rhamnus frangula. This plant has served as a natural laxative for centuries, but also as a supporter of general intestinal health.
What is trushchka and where does it grow? 🌳
Truščika is a deciduous shrub from the sea buckthorn family (Rhamnaceae), whose natural habitat is wet areas, river beds and forest edges of Croatia and other European countries. It is recognizable by its dark, almost black berries and smooth, brown peel, which is used in medicine.
In folk medicine, truščika is also known by names such as black truščika, sea buckthorn or passion fruit. Its medicinal properties have been recognized since ancient times, and the most important part of the plant for use is the dry and aged bark.
Active ingredients and mechanism of action 💊
The main medicinal ingredients of thrushchika are anthraquinone glycosides – frangulin A and B. These compounds, under the influence of intestinal bacteria, are converted into active metabolites that slightly stimulate intestinal peristalsis – rhythmic contractions that allow the natural expulsion of digestive waste and toxins.
In addition to anthraquinone, trushchka contains other important substances:
- Tannins – have an anti-inflammatory effect and protect the intestinal mucosa
- Flavonoids – powerful antioxidants that contribute to the health of the intestinal flora
- Saponins – support digestion and strengthen immunity
Due to these properties, trushchka acts as a safe and effective natural laxative, which, in addition to eliminating constipation, also helps reduce inflammation and detoxify the body.
Health benefits of truschika for the digestive system 🌟
- Natural Constipation Relief: It is an ideal choice for occasional problems with constipation and slow digestion, as it stimulates intestinal peristalsis in a gentle but effective way.
- Detoxification of the body: It facilitates the elimination of toxins and harmful substances that accumulate in the intestines, which is important for general health and good functioning of the body.
- Relief of hemorrhoids: Regular stool reduces the pressure on the veins around the anus, which relieves the unpleasant symptoms of hemorrhoids.
- Anti-inflammatory effect: It helps reduce inflammatory processes within the intestinal tract, protecting the mucous membrane and supporting recovery.
- Supporting the intestinal microflora: The active compounds of truschika support the balance of intestinal bacteria, which is crucial for digestive health and immunity.
