People often use these terms interchangeably, but they are not synonyms. A heart attack is when blood flow to the heart is blocked, and sudden cardiac arrest is when the heart malfunctions and suddenly stops beating unexpectedly. A heart attack is a âcirculationâ problem and sudden cardiac arrest is an âelectricalâ problem.
If you suffer from constipation, you may be looking into an herbal laxative tea as an alternative to the stronger-over-the counter laxatives. Many stimulant laxatives sold over the counter or prescribed by physicians can have harsh side effects.
Massaging the abdomen with essential oils with laxative properties (in a carrier oil base) like chamomile, marjoram, or peppermint can also be helpful. There are three classes of herbal laxatives-bulk, mild (but not bulk) and purgative. Bulk laxatives are the gentlest for occasional constipation.
