 4. Treatment of Constipation

● Rasool Allah (SAWS) asked Asma Bint Umais (RA),

“How do you deal with constipation?” She said by
using Shubrum (Euphorb Piteous), he (SAWS) told her
“it is hot and a very strong laxative”, she said “I also
use Senna”, he (SAWS) said “If there is a cure that
prevents death it would be Senna”

● Senna is a plant that grows in Al Hijaz (Western

Arabia) and the best kind of it grows in Makkah. It
looks like Mehendi leaves but light in colour and the
leaves have seeds on it.
We can use Senna leaves in 2 ways:
1.QAHWA OF SENNA MAKKI:
● In a saucepan add one cup of water with 5-7 leaves of Senna Makki with
their stalk and boil them.Leave it for sometime.
● In a cup add one tsp of honey and one tsp of ghee or olive oil.
● Add the Senna qahwa in this cup .Mix well and drink it.

2.HALWA / MAJOON OF SENNA MAKKI:

● Grind a few leaves of Senna Makki with their stalk
● Make a halwa of it by adding equal quantities of honey and ghee
● Take this with warm water.
Sanoot : Senna + Equal quantities of Honey & Ghee
Apart from this we can treat constipation by:

1.Using Olive Oil: Before sleeping take 2 Tbsp of Olive Oil,Pregnant women suffering from
constipation can take one tsp of olive oil for relief.
2.Taking 3-5 Dates also aid in treating constipation
3.Drinking at least 1-2 litres of water daily.
