How long can this tea be drunk, and what should you consider when choosing it?

This is a key point for a tea with laxative herbs. According to the product description, such plants should not be used for too long without a break; they are usually regarded as a temporary option rather than a permanent basis of the diet. Put simply, this is something to use ‘as needed’, not an everyday drink: it is not drunk for more than 1–2 weeks in a row.

Certain situations require particular attention. The tea is not used in cases of intestinal obstruction, abdominal pain of unknown origin, inflammatory bowel disease or irritable bowel syndrome. The presence of liquorice root in the blend is another reason for a measured approach, as liquorice is not recommended for long-term regular use, and the tea is not drunk if you have high blood pressure or swelling.

The tea is not used during pregnancy or breastfeeding, in case of intolerance to the ingredients, or by children under 12; if you have chronic conditions or take any medicines, it is best to discuss this with a specialist before use. This tea does not replace a balanced diet and a routine with enough fluid, fibre and physical activity; often it is these habits that play the main role in untroubled digestion, while a herbal infusion serves only as a temporary addition.
