If you really want to go give strength and proper functioning to your intestines, and make your skin clean starting from the bottom, it is best also to drink more plain water (at least a liter and half a day, as this stimulates healthy transit and expulsion of feces through the intestines and colon) and exercise (helps the natural contractions of the intestine), consider these natural laxatives that will help soften stools and make it easy to expulsion:
