[melodyl]

The following recipe came from my grandson's pediatrition. It is a natural alternative/remedy for constipation.

Fruit Paste Recipe

8 oz dried prunes
8 oz raisins
8 oz dried figs
2 oz senna tea leaves (purchase in health food store)
1/2 cup prune juice
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup lemon juice
2-1/2 cups water

Bring fruit, lemon juice, tea leaves and water to a boil. Boil for 15-20 minutes. Remove from heat and add brown sugar. Allow to cool. Using a mixer or food processor, turn fruit mixture into a a smooth paste while gradually adding prune juice. Place in container and store in freezer.

DOSE: Take 1-2 teaspoons every morning. Remove dose from container and let warm to room temp. for 5 to 10 minutes (helps to soften paste). Eat plain or spread on toast, muffin, or cracker. Increase or decrease dose as needed. Drink plenty of water, 6-8 glasses a day.

This recipe made a big difference for my grandson. I haven't tried it myself, but my daughter swears by it.

Hope all of you are having a relatively pain free day and enjoying the beginnings of a lovely summer.
