Dried Senna Leaf, Organic
 
 
Senna is an effective short term laxative. The dried pods are most commonly used, though they provide a milder effect than the leaves. It is best to take senna in the evening; you can expect a bowel movement 6-8 hours. Senna is used for constipation during pregnancy. Combine senna with fennel or other carminative herbs in a formula. Prolonged use can cause dependency.
