Senna tea is recognised the world over for its medicinal properties. People consider it as a natural remedy, particularly for constipation and other related conditions, and have been using it as such for centuries.
Benefits of Senna tea include it being a powerful natural laxative. The use of senna as a non-prescription laxative is approved by the FDA (Food and Drug Administration USA). Senna is widely used for treating constipation, as well as cleansing the entire bowel and colon, prior to undergoing diagnostic tests like colonoscopy. Senna tea benefits also include its ability to soothe and prevent haemorrhoids and managing irritable bowel syndrome or IBS.
Senna leaf tea plant is native to Central and South East Asia, North Africa, and the Middle East. Today, it can also be found in other regions where the climate is temperate. History indicates that physicians in Asia and other Arab nations used senna leaf tea as treatment for a wide variety of medical conditions, including skin diseases, seizures, dysentery, infection, indigestion, and fever.
Ayurvedic medicine used the herb to treat respiratory, skin, and liver problems. In Egypt, research indicates that physicians used the herb to treat their patients who were of royal blood for constipation. There is a lack of significant evidence to prove the efficacy of senna tea leaves for most of these conditions. Since the Renaissance, however, people continued to use the herb as a laxative and enjoy Senna tea benefits.
India has been using the senna leaves or pods from the senna plant as a laxative for more than a thousand years. Today, you can get the many benefits of Senna tea by using the herb in one or more of its many forms. You can purchase senna in tablet and capsule forms, use loose tea or tea bags to brew tea, or use it in its liquid extract form. You can also get it in its pure dried root form from many health supplement stores.
Senna leaf contains resin, sugar, mucilage, flavonoids, sennosides, glycosides, and anthraquinone derivatives. The latter interacts with the bacteria in your digestive tract and causes laxative action. Glycosides smoothen out the abdominal muscles as food passes through the intestines – enhancing the volume of stool and helping it move out of your colon. The glycosides also act as a purgative agent promoting fermentation and digestion.
If you have a problem with being constipated, the use of Senna tea can help you find relief because it stimulates the colon muscle. However, you have to bear in mind that constipation has many causes. It may be the result of not drinking enough fluid or consuming too little food which are high in fibre. It may even be the result of anxiety or stress.
Be prudent in your use of Senna to get Senna tea benefits. Use senna herbal tea in diluted form first and wait for it to act. It may take 6 hours or 12 hours before you see results. You will also get maximum benefits of Senna tea if you make some significant lifestyle changes. Eat more fruits and vegetables to add more fibre to your diet. Drink more water. Engage in regular exercise. All these changes will help further promote Senna tea benefits.
Some people like the weight loss benefit of senna tea. You can make an herbal tea blend using senna infusion as one of your ingredients to kick off the cleansing process and purge your body of harmful waste and toxins. Make sure that you incorporate other health-friendly teas and food to your diet after the initial purging.

This is the best organic cacao powder I have ever had , and is definitely the purest.
I have purine accumulation which causes pain in muscles and joints similar to athritis and it can fool doctors into thinking it is athritis.
I use sour cherry juice and hibiscus tea and a low purine diet and I have alleviated my symptoms greatly.
I had a fortnight without my hibiscus tea and the symptoms came back.
I drink the tea without addititives and it is an acquired taste but now I quite enjoy it knowing how it improves my health and well being,
Excellent product. I am happy with the tea. It tastes so good and it's real organic.
The service is brilliant and extremely easy. Received the order quickly and well packaged. The quality of the Acerola is great and far better than others I have tried. I definitely will be ordering again
I always buy this psyllium husk as it gives a lovely colour, flavour and softness to my gluten free bread. Many of the other brands make my bread purple!
Im addicted to the this turmeric! I have terrible inflammation in my joints and this is the only one thing that actually helps and believe me I’ve tried all pain killers and anti inflammatory tablets.
Incredible natural multivitamin!
So much better than powder so much easier *****
Love Moringa! natures all round multi mineral and vitamin. Great service, products and ethics from TNHM
Delighted to find yerba mate tea in a bag form,organic as well. Was introduced to yerba mate tea by an Argentinian friend,who brews it in her proper "pot with a spout"& used as a sharing device with friends. It's an acquired taste,but I love it & it gives a boost instead of coffee. Very happy with service & purchase.
Strong & fresh-tasting peppemint tea-temples,one of the nicest I've had.
I bought these to take on holiday as I usually use the powder. Service was excellent and product looks good, I am sure it will be really good and so convenient for when I am away
Bought some psyllium husk and it's been great.
I'll be buying this again.
Best ginger tea bags around. No nasties just pure dried ginger. Love them. They help my vestibular migraines so much. I won’t buy them anywhere else. Thanks guys ❤️
