Senna Leaf ~
Botanical Name: Senna alexandrina
Origin: India
Senna is a flowering shrub native to northern Africa and cultivated in several warm regions throughout the world. Its leaves have a long history of use in traditional herbal practices and are commonly incorporated into teas and botanical preparations.
Senna naturally contains compounds known as sennosides, which interact with the digestive tract and encourage intestinal movement. Because of its potent nature, Senna is traditionally associated with occasional bowel support and digestive regularity rather than everyday use.
Suggested Uses
- Traditional herbal teas and infusions
- Botanical blends
- Traditional digestive herbal preparations
- Occasional herbal preparations associated with bowel regularity
