Did You Know? (Background)
Senna is not only used in herbal remedies, but it can also be found in many commercial drugs. It is best
known for its ability to relieve constipation. On its own, it has a very bitter taste that can even make
your stomach hurt. However, when it's mixed with other herbs, it can be tolerated.

Senna works by causing the large intestine to suddenly contract causing a bowel movement. It also
helps to keep stool from becoming hard in the intestine by slowing down the absorbtion of water by the
lining.


Safety
Senna should not be taken by children under 12. It should not be taken during pregnancy. Do not take
Senna for more than 10 days in a row
because not everything can be learned in a book
