Fortunately, nature has given us a plant with a long tradition of use that effectively but mildly promotes healthy digestion and regular bowel movements \u2013 <strong>tru\u0161chika<\/strong> or Latin <strong>Rhamnus frangula<\/strong>. This plant has served as a natural laxative for centuries, but also as a supporter of general intestinal health.  <\/p>\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\" \/>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is trushchka and where does it grow? \ud83c\udf33<\/h2>\n\n<p>Tru\u0161\u010dika 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.
