I've been recommending Triphala, an ancient Ayurvedic herbal tonic, to people with constipation and I just noticed it's also good for the immune system and is an anti-fungal, which means it's good for candida people too. Here's a description, you can buy it VERY cheaply at health food stores and online. :)

The Story:
Triphala, formulated by Ayurvedic physicians thousands of years ago and used by literally billions of people since,
is considered the most effective and safest laxative and colon tonic by most health care practitioners.
Where other colon formulas are depleting,
Triphala is mild, non-habit forming, and a rejuvenative



The Herbs:
Triphala ( trifala ) is so effective because its three herbs are potent healers
Amalaki, Emblica Officinalis, one of Ayurveda's greatest rejuvenators and a strong natural anti-oxidant,
also helps to boost the immune system. Balances Pitta.

Haritaki, Terminalia Chebula, the Tibetan "king of medicine", a classic heart-brain-longevity tonic,
is often depicted in the extended palm of the Buddha. Balances Vata.

Bibhitaki, Terminalia Belerica, a powerful rejuvenative that reduces liver and heart disease, also improves the voice, vision and promotes the growth of hair. Balances Kapha.

The Result:
Feel pure, light and revitalized
Remove toxins, accumulations, gas and distention
Nourish your nervous system, blood and muscle
Increase digestion, assimilation and reduce fat
Detoxify every system in the body
Regulate and vitalize your metabolism

The Use:
Triphala is the one formula recommended for everybody.
Triphala is gentle for people of all ages, from children to seniors.
Triphala is balancing for people with all types of constitutions.
Take 1 to 4 Capsules at bedtime with warm water.
