Senna Herb - Herbal Tea
Senna Herb
Senna is a large genus of flowering plant found through out the tropics and a few temperate regions. Senna is often used for its ornamental value in landscaping and the flowers are usually yellow but some species bear other colors.
Senna is used quite regularly and widely in medicine and today is a main ingredient in commercial stool softeners and some diet aids. The overuse of Senna has become a dangerous dieting agent as well as an over used laxative and caution should be made. Topically Senna is being used in cosmetics and hair care and this poses no threat.

Senna tea is prepared by steeping ¼ teaspoon crushed herb in 8 ounces of hot water for 10 minutes. The tea can also be prepared by using cold water and allowing the Senna to sit in the water for 12 hours; this produces a milder tea and lessens the chances of stomach cramps.
