Virtually unknown in the United States, the radish contains a variety of chemicals that increase the flow of digestive juices. It also improves peristaltic movement.
Constipation is another problem to benefit from radish consumption.
Rich in fiber and digestive stimulants, regular consumption of radishes helps regulate the bowels. Since dehydration is a major cause of constipation, radishes help hydrate and lubricate the intestines and encourage relaxed bowel movements. The root juice extract of the black radish used in Digest RC is the most potent part of the plant. The charcoal in Digest RC is particularly useful in absorbing toxins. It is used in emergency departments to treat drug overdoses.
