Would it be the same if I eat the tea leaves instead of steeping 'em?

Question

I mean laxative herbal tea, sometimes I use it like 2 times a month and it tastes like eew.

Answer 1

you think they'd taste better if you ate them? Just hold your nose and drink.

Answer 2

no it wouldn't be the same.  when you steep the herbal tea, you extract the substances with the boiling water and drink the extract.

when you eat the herbal tea leaves, whatever they are, you consume things that aren't necessarily consumable by the human body.   It's probably why the tea was created so that you could benefit from the substance and not have to eat it.

Answer 3

Eat some sugar-free chocolate ... it will work as a laxative

Answer 4

i'd think eating them would be even worse. have you tried flavoring it w/ some honey or something? if all else fails, find another laxative.
