I use senna in a cinnamon tea and was amazed at how well it works. I recommend this for any one having digestive problems! I have tried many things and nothing works like this!!!

I took Senna oral medication along with docusate sodium because of constipation. However, after having taken this medication, I now have very serious rectal bleeding with a lot of blood leaving my body. It was able to completely soak two large pads.

Been shivering in pain for 4 hrs now, cleared my bowels but now it’s just continuing to cramp my intestines and it’s so painful I can’t stop shaking, have bouts of weeping, and throw up any water I try to drink to try and clear it faster. Do not recommend unless you are a masochist that likes the feeling of dying

After a change in diet I occasionally had slow BMs, which corrected themselves. However, this past week that didn't happen. I tried two other OTC products with little success (they just caused me to pass water). Finally, I tried this in a tea and it worked wonders. Drank a cup before bed, woke up and had a loose BM. Same thing after lunch. Finally after dinner, a nice "solid" BM. I'm not bloated, but was quite gassy today which I had before drinking but not as frequent. I had no cramping but a slow get sense of urgency. I was more than able to get to bathroom though.Read More Read Less

This product has made my life so much more comfortable. I am methadone patient on a high does, methadone causes SEVERE constipation which wont ease up as long as I'm on this this narcotic which could potentially be forever. I tried having tonnes of water and fruit but was still miserable. Following advice from doctor I started taking Senna 1 yr. ago, 3 tablets daily,and although my constipation is still bad it is now at a level I can live with. My doctor said it's okay to take everyday indefinitely but I've read sites that say otherwise so my only concern is that prolonged use may be having adverse effects on my body, but I can't stop the methadone and cant live with the constipation when not on Senna so I just hope for the best.Read More Read Less

I felt a little constipated so I took it before bed. I woke up the next morning and had a gentle stirring of bowels as promised. I evacuated them and everything seemed fine. Then I went to the gym and I was doubled over in pain from the cramping. I kept having to rush to the bathroom to have diarrhea. This continued from 9am until 1pm. I laid in bed and tried not to move and it went away but wow was it painfully intense. Worse than other OTC laxatives I have tried.

Love this natural alternative for constipation. Some cramping, but short-lived. Wonderful herb!

Use in relief of constipation. Class Two Narcotics. Duragesic patches 500 mcg per hour per 3 days or 50 patches per month. I use stool softness and went to this and still not strong enough. Can you offer a suggestion please?
