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:
There’s no doubt that, when consumed appropriately, senna tea can offer real benefits to your system, helping to solve the irritating problem of constipation and cleanse the system. It’s an excellent supplementary product to support your DIY detoxing efforts.

I bought these for myself, my husband informed me last night that he's used them all. Really lovely tea
Bee pollen has become a part of our everyday routine. Since we started giving it to our son, in particular (who is slightly anaemic, which runs in my family), his health has completely changed. He is so much healthier now. I give it to all my children and take it myself.
The kids love the taste so much, we have to keep it on the highest shelf otherwise they will fill a bowl with it!
The latest batch that we bought is the most delicious yet. We're wondering if the bees were parking of some lavender. Whatever it is, it's amazing. It was out of stock for a little while and I had to keep checking the website as my children were asking for it.
Purchased milk thistle from this company. I have used this for many years but I have to say this is the most effective I have used from Health Market. Would definitely recommend. It contains no fillers only natural extract. Will definitely purchase again.
Really great product, good quality and good value
I was recommended Macca after having had a hysterectomy, I have been taking this supplement for almost 6 years. I feel it’s balanced my hormones, helped with women’s health, particularly in areas most required. I have 2 capsules per day & wouldn’t be without it.
If you’re unsure, give it a try, I find The Natural Health Market helpful and reliable, thank you.
I had been reading about the benefits of goji berries so decided to buy from NHM, delivery was quick, and compared to supermarket prices they are good value for money as you can buy different size bags to suit your needs. Resealable bag help to keep the berries fresh too ! I use them with my breakfast cereal and for snacking. I will purchase them again.
Lovely product, really good quality and I enjoy it in my smoothie every morning. Recommended.
I have bought these teabags as gifts and recently for myself. We all found that the tea has a very calming effect. Will definitely be buying some more.
The service from purchase to delivery is very efficient
I’m coming to the end of my second month using The Natural Health Market's Marine Collagen Powder, I can confidently say it has been a game changer—especially for my hair! I have noticed visible improvements, it has also become an easy and welcome addition to my daily routine.
Every morning, I mix two spoons of collagen powder (roughly 15g) with a teaspoon of organic cacao powder and a teaspoon of coconut sugar into my decaf coffee. I blend it with cold milk first then top up with hot water from the kettle. It tastes really good, feels like a treat while also supporting my well-being.
I’ve dubbed these three products the Power Throuple! The combination of marine collagen, rich cacao and coconut sugar, blends well, makes a great tasting and satisfying brew, keeps hunger at bay and delivers results!
These bags allow me to have a drink and help boost my immune system as well…it’s a win win.
Ia have been buying Himalayan salt from Natural health Market for years. It's the best I've tried so far.
Not to mention all the other stuff the sale like teas, etc.
I have replaced my wake up coffee with a mug of organic ginger tea every morning for over 6 months and feel a real boost to the day. I find them great for my digestive and immune systems. Dealing with The Natural Health Market is seamless with orders arriving as expected. Thank you to the team.
My 1st time of tasting hibiscus tea and I love it.
Steep for 5 mins and enjoy.
I can't comment on health benefits as ice only used it for a short while.
It's a little bit of me time.
Purchased these capsules as advised by a health professional. Found this company which offer organic products which I prefer . Been taking for a couple of weeks so is is a little early to give a true statement. Will continue to take this supplement as I'm hoping it will help with inflammation. Will definitely purchase again .
