Senna Tea

What is Senna tea? Senna is an herb that has been used to help ease digestion and bowel issues for hundreds of years. In the wild, it grows as a small shrub or tree and is sometimes used as an ornamental plant by professional landscapers. Senna has many different varieties that can be used in a variety of ways. For many years around ancient Egypt it was grown as a crop that was sold and traded by the people of that region. In some Asian cultures, the leaves and flowers of the fruit are eaten as fresh produce. Another form of henna can be used as a hair dye.

As a medicinal herb, senna can help to stimulate contractions of the intestinal walls, which may help relieve constipation. It is used commercially as an ingredient in many over the counter laxatives, but it can also be found in a more natural form at many health food and vitamin stores as a tea or dried leaves and flowers. Senna is also a common ingredient in many diet teas and supplements. One of the side effects of senna is that it helps to reduce the appetite, which can help with the process of weight loss.
