Are diet teas or “chinese slimming” teas safe?
Hi everyone!
My mom is 49 years old and she’s been taking all these types of teas for about a year now. My mom has a lot of digstive problems, and she has gone to many herbalist who give her teas for this. Many of them have given her these "slimming, diet teas" that contain laxative ingredients. My mom has no intention of losing weight, but she wants to drink the stuff so she can actually go to the bathroom. She can go on for 3-4 days without using the bathroom, which yes, I am aware- it’s bad!
We have tried foods, other medications (my mom also suffers from a kidney complication) so she can’t take many of them, especially over the counter things. I don’t know what to do, and it srot of scares me that she comes home with a different tea every month. I mean, these things are supposed to "slim" you down and get you on a diet, but I fear my mom will get sick from trying all these teas that may affect her health. Although most of the teas say "natural", "organic" "herbal" I still worry. Can anyone tell me if there’s any side effects to these teas?
Here’s some she’s recently been taking: (she sometimes mixes them after being constipated for about 3 days):

Slic Chic, you obviously did not read the question, why bother reading it if you’re not giving me an informative answer. Same goes for the third answer =/
