Senna is a natural laxative made from the leaves and fruit of the senna plant. It's used to treat difficulty pooing (constipation). It works by stimulating the muscles in your gut.
Take senna once a day at bedtime. You can take it with or without food. Senna takes about 8 hours to work. It's usual to take it at bedtime so it works overnight.
1. Gather your ingredients: You'll need dried senna leaves (1-2 grams) and hot water.
2. Heat the water: Boil water and let it cool slightly to around 203 F (95 C).
3. Steep the leaves: Place the senna leaves in a cup and pour the hot water over them.
4. Wait and strain: Allow the tea to steep for 5-10 minutes. Longer steeping can make it more bitter. Strain the tea before drinking.
5. Optional additions: You can add a touch of honey or lemon juice for a milder taste.
6. Drink and observe: Drink the tea in the evening for best results. If it's your first time, start with a small amount to see how your body reacts.
Important Considerations:
- Dosage:Avoid exceeding the recommended dosage, which is typically around 15-30 mg of sennosides per day for adults.
- Duration:Do not use senna tea for more than two weeks consecutively.
