Dried Senna Leaves ~ Cassia Senna

Origin:India

Dried Senna leaves (also known as Alexandrian leaves) are a powerful herbal remedy used primarily as a natural laxative to relieve occasional constipation. Their active ingredients, sennosides , stimulate intestinal contractions, facilitating bowel movements, usually within 8 to 12 hours. 

Preparation Instructions (Tea)

To prepare the decoction at home, follow these steps:

Dosage: Use about 1-2 grams (about 1 teaspoon) of dried leaves per cup.

Extraction: Add hot (not necessarily boiling) water and let it simmer or "steep" for 5 to 10 minutes .

Straining: Strain the leaves well before consumption.

Tasting Tip: Because senna has a slightly bitter aftertaste, you can add honey or combine it with aromatic herbs such as mint or fennel, which also help reduce potential cramps.
