Anthracotherapy
Definition
A therapeutic method or traditional medical treatment based on the utilization of standardized extracts from plants rich in anthracenic derivatives and glycosides (such as buckthorn or senna) for regulating intestinal transit; it can also describe the controlled clinical use of activated charcoal in cases of severe poisoning. This structural physiological process stimulates colon motility and reduces fluid absorption, being applied strictly according to medical schedules to prevent electrolyte imbalances.
