Terrible problem: Constipation can be a terrible problem. Senna, a natural vegetable laxative is very helpful for treating constipation. Start by taking 2 tablets each night and increase by 2 tablets/day every 2-3 days, until your bowels move regularly without problems, then remain on that dose. Drinking lots of water, eating lots of fruits and fiber, and getting regular exercise can help prevent constipation.
