Senna Leaf ~
Botanical Name: Cassia angustifolia
Used for centuries as a natural laxative. Acts on the intestinal walls, causing contractions that lead to bowel movements and relieving severe cases of constipation. Because of its glycoside content, which helps transport electrolytes, it helps to cleanse the colon creating a bowel movement that usually occurs within six to 12 hours after it is taken. Though senna leaf is a well-known laxative, cleansing agent and anti-inflammatory, it should not be used on a regular basis which could lead to lazy bowel syndrome if used consecutively for more than two weeks.
Warning: NOTICE: This product contains Senna (Senna alexandrina). Read and follow directions carefully. Do not use if you have or develop diarrhea, loose stools, or abdominal pain because Senna may worsen these conditions and be harmful to your health. Consult your physician if you have frequent diarrhea or if you are pregnant, nursing, taking medication, or have a medical condition.
