Is it okay to do a mild colon cleanse (with herbs in it) if you are taking high blood pressure medicine?

The product is called Colon Clenz, it contains Potassium, Cascara Sagrada, Senna, Chinese Rhubarb, Black Walnut, Aloe Vera, Oregon Grape, Yellow Dock, Valerian and Slippery Elm.

    Sorry, but colon cleansing is pseudoscience. It's only promoted by quacks. Your colon is not dirty. See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colon_cleansing

    Who taught you this? Even science only resorts to colonics as a last resort.

    But even then, they don't use Oregon Grape, so the jokes on them, right? :)
