Fig
A Mediterranean fruit tree. Fresh or dried fig is food-as-gentle-laxative more than a capsule. The leaf has its own, quieter traditions.
This prototype offers educational plant guidance only and does not replace medical care. Check with a qualified professional before using herbs or supplements, especially if you take medication, are pregnant or breastfeeding, have a chronic condition, or are choosing something for a child or pet.
Benefits and traditional uses
- Gentle fruit for sluggish digestion

Mediterranean tables treated fig as food and a household remedy for constipation. Latex from the tree can irritate skin.
Precautions

- Fruit is food; sap is not a casual topical.
