Organic Senna Leaves C/S

Organic Senna Leaves C/S (Senna alexandrina) is one of the most well-established herbal laxatives in both traditional and modern use. The senna plant is native to North Africa and the Arabian Peninsula, and its leaves have been used in Ayurvedic, Arabic, and Western herbal traditions for over a thousand years. Senna is recognized by the World Health Organization and is included in numerous official pharmacopoeias worldwide.

Traditional Uses

Senna is primarily known as a natural stimulant laxative. The leaves contain compounds called sennosides, which stimulate bowel movement by acting on the intestinal lining. Herbalists and naturopathic practitioners use senna for occasional constipation relief. It is one of the few herbal remedies that has been extensively validated by modern research for its intended traditional use.

Important: Senna is intended for short-term, occasional use only. It should not be used daily for extended periods. Consult a healthcare professional before use, especially during pregnancy, nursing, or if taking medications.

How to Brew Senna Tea

Use one teaspoon of senna leaves per 8 ounces of boiling water. Steep for 5 to 10 minutes. A shorter steeping time produces a milder effect. Many people blend senna with peppermint, ginger, or fennel to improve the taste and ease potential cramping. Drink in the evening, as effects typically occur within 6 to 12 hours.

Popular Applications

Senna leaf is widely used by supplement companies, tea brands, and natural health product manufacturers in detox blends, colon cleanse formulations, and occasional relief teas. It is one of the most commonly found herbs in the natural laxative category.
