Senna Leaves

• Senna can be used as Senna Tea
• Senna tea is derived from the leaves of Cassia plants, which comprise more than 250 different species. Senna has been traditionally used as a laxative as well as to clear the bowels before tests such as colonoscopy. The senna plants are small shrubs that bear yellow or green leaflets; these can be cultivated and dried to make senna tea. The two most popular senna leaf varieties are Cassia angustifolia and Cassia accutifolia, which are exported around the world due to their unique health effects. Senna tea has a sweet flavor but has a slightly bitter taste in the end. 
• Health Benefits
• The major health benefits of senna tea are as follows:
• May Aid in Weight Loss
• Senna tea can help to flush out excess toxins and residual waste matter out of the body, which may promote weight loss. However, much of the weight that is “lost” is water weight. So, consuming the tea should also be paired with dietary restrictions and exercise to have a full effect.
• May Act As A Laxative
• The sennosides that may be found in this tea may stimulate peristaltic motion and rapid detoxification through its possible laxative effect. This helps treat constipation. Senna is approved by the FDA as a nonprescription laxative. 
• May Treat Hemorrhoids
• Senna may help in reducing swelling and quick healing of anal fissures and other hemorrhoids due to its laxative effects.
• May Treat Indigestion
• If you are struggling with constipation, bloating, cramping, or indigestion, senna tea can often help by promoting the normal flow of food and waste matter through your bowels. ^[
• May Act As a Diuretic
• This specialty tea is also well-known as a possible diuretic, meaning it may stimulate urination. This can release excess salts, fats, toxins, and water from the body. Senna can often result in dehydration, so make sure you are staying well hydrated.
• May Aid in Skin Care
• Senna tea, due to the presence of tannin, resin, and essential oils, is used to treat wounds, burns, and ringworms. Its anti-bacterial properties are also useful in fighting acne, and other skin ailments.
• May Help in Hair Care & Color
• Applying senna to your hair will ensure stronger, thicker, and voluminous hair. It can also act as a natural hair highlighter which gives ash blonde to golden color.
