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.

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 ❤️
Good quality. Fair price. Fast delivery. Thank you.
Due to having a sensitive tummy, my wife decided to try ginger tea for its aid in digestion and anti-inflammatory properties. Also she suffers from burning mouth syndrome and she discovered that ginger tea really helps her with this too. As she can no longer drink black tea as it is too acidic for her, and has never drunk coffee, she tried many different brands of ginger tea and now this is the only ginger tea for her and has stayed loyal for the last 18 months.
It tastes so pure and alleviates all her symptoms. she likes the ethos of the company and the family feel and also likes to support this type of business.
She takes their ginger tea everywhere with her in her tea tin in her handbag so she is a fully committed customer of The Natural Health Market.
This cacao is very good, it tastes like the best, and I've tried a few. It comes from a good source and is such good value, I can highly recommend it. I don't cook with it, as I don't want to destroy the polyphenols.
We have been buying this for years. We are big coffee in the morning people. However, we now enjoy this tea as a nice alternative. We haven't given up coffee but have definitely reduced how many morning coffees we have.
This is the first time we have ordered this tea. We have never liked chamomile tea before but after seeing some reviews, we decided to give it a go. We are so glad we did. It's a lovely tea. A lovely appley flavour. We will definitely be ordering again.
