Archive file. An archive file is a file that is composed of one or more computer files along with metadata. Archive files are used to collect multiple data files together into a single file for easier portability and storage, or simply to compress files to use less storage space.

Ingestion of laxatives is one of the primary self-treatment methods in the West. Laxatives are readily available as over-the-counter drug products and as dietary supplements. They are used for two purposes: to treat constipation and to aid in weight loss.

Even so, senna leaf teas (or preparations in capsule or tablet form) are widely used for this purpose and are a major import from China and Europe.
