The following recipe is from a lifelong friend who assures us that this all natural laxative works better than just about anything you can buy, mix or concoct. Handed down by the oldtimers, this laxative will do its magic better than anything you can get over the counter.

In fact, heed this warning: take only the exact amount suggested and no more. Take more, and you will be overstimulated. (Our friend worded this with a bit more color!) Take this laxative concoction in the dosage recommended.

The ingredients' list is short and sweet. Senna leaves can be found in health food stores; it may even be available in your supermarket. Prunes, figs and raisins are readily available in any neighborhood supermarket.

Ingredients:

2 ounces senna leaves

pound prunes

pound raisins

pound figs

Sugar to taste - optional

Step 1 Pour 1 pint boiling water over the senna leaves. Allow to steep 30 minutes. Strain and save out all of the liquid and save. Discard the leaves.

Step 2 Chop prunes, figs and raisins into small pieces finely chopped or bigger chunks.

Step 3 Add chunks of fruit to the senna leaf liquid.

Step 4 Simmer over low heat for 30 minutes.

Step 5 Add sugar to taste.

Take 2 or 3 teaspoons can be taken daily as a healthy supplement to aid or stimulate.

As you can see from the few ingredients, this is an all-natural laxative recipe that is quick and easy to make. You can store the pudding-like mixture in your refrigerator as you would jams and jellies.

Looks like it might do the trick - you might want to type your "recipe" directly into SW rather than copy and paste - when copying and pasting I have found that things definitely get lost in the translation (especially fractions) Marijo

Oh yes. I am assured it does the trick. My daughter-in-law had surgery and had to take advantage of it and she told me, "Wow, does this ever do the trick!" Thanks for the tip on copy and paste. I'm probably messing up some of the articles. This helps!
