Senna Leaf Tea

Senna Leaf Tea is made from Senna Leaves. Senna Leaves comes from the small, peelable-bark shrub that grows in the upper Nile regions of Africa and the Arabian Peninsula. Senna grows in most tropical regions of the world. Both its leaves and its seeds are medicinal. Due to its stool-softening action, Senna is especially useful for people with hemorrhoids or anal fissures. It tends to remain soft beecause there is not much time for fluid to be absorbed from the stool. The Senna Leaf was considered a "cleansing" herb because of its cathartic effect. It relieves constipation by stimulating the colon, thus hastening passage of the contents.
