Senna pods Tincture

Cassia angustifolia

Senna is a well known short-term remedy for constipation; it will soften the stools in addition to stimulating a bowel motion.

Always take with a carminative herb such as chamomile, dill, fennel, angelica etc to avoid griping. Avoid during pregnancy and lacation, and do not take for longer than 10 days. Do not give to children. Avoid if suffering from intestinal obstruction, diarrhoea, inflammatory bowel disease or undiagnosed bowel symptoms. Chronic constipation is better treated by modifying diet and using bulking agents. Seek the advice of a medical herbalist.
