Turmeric is also great but not so easy to find cheap(if you don't mind taking in coriander, then you could get curry powder).

Horseradish, cayenne pepper and licorice root are also great at combating constipation without any adverse side effects.
GINGER KICKS BUTT! I use that daily for a month or so, keeps me warm (Usually cold), that stuff when cut up is great in tea, the root of course. I don't do really well on Cayenne at all, it messes my stomach up too much and is a stimulant, it makes me think too much and mind race some, the Ginger seems to calm me. I guess is not for all, but outta the list you put up Ginger is my fave there man.

Dandelion is great too I toleate that well, good tea. I also want to bring up something that kills Parasites and does other things, Papaya seeds! Yes from the fruit, read up on what that does for your liver and parasites JK! 20 a day for 7 days can get rid of them from the gut. I got into spices and foods since last summer, really interesting stuff.

In Sanskrit, tulsi means literally "the incomparable one" and has been revered since ancient times. Tulsi, the holy basil, is said to have grown at the site of Christ’s crucifixion and is associated with St. Basil’s feast.
