Senna is a particularly interesting herbal tea, as it’s one of the few that isn’t recommended for everyday use, this is partly because it is so effective at what it does best, which is easing the symptoms of constipation naturally and without discomfort.
Senna tea contains anthraquinone, which are known for their powerful laxative effect. These anthraquinone are also highly effective at cleansing the colon, which is excellent not only for giving the digestive system a detox, but also for preparing the bowel for procedures such as a colonoscopy.
Senna is so widely regarded as an effective treatment for painful constipation that even the National Institute of Health in the US recommends it.
There have been quite a few studies examining the effects of senna in tablet or powder form, but not many focusing on the benefits of consuming the herb in tea.
However, what research that has been done indicates that senna tea is indeed very efficient as a safe laxative. A small study, undertaken in 2005 (and published in Investigative Radiology) observed the effects of senna tea on 12 participants. In each of the people involved, senna tea improved the easy movement of stools through the bowel.

However, they also state that it’s important not to use it for over two weeks at a time. It’s a wonderful temporary solution to the irritation problem of constipation, and an excellent way to give your system a much-needed cleanse, but it is not to be used as a long-term form of medication.
As a result, if you find yourself still suffering from constipation after two weeks of drinking senna tea, it’s advisable to see your GP to discuss underlying causes and other forms of treatment.
If you’re thinking of using senna tea to help kick - start a detox, it’s also important to support your efforts by making a few other temporary changes to your lifestyle. Don’t worry, it’s nothing that you have to maintain for a long period of time, it’s literally just a case of providing your body with the chance to flush out toxins and enjoy improved health.
In addition to drinking senna tea to cleanse the colon, you can:

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 ❤️
