Whole Senna leaf.
Process: died Senna leaf, whole.

Origin: Egypt or India (depending on seasonal availability)

Our premium Senna Leaf (Cassia angustifolia), also known as Alexandrian Senna, Egyptian Senna, or the Locust Plant, is a time-honored botanical used in traditional wellness practices for its natural cleansing properties. Grown in Egypt and tropical regions like India and Somalia, Senna has been prized for centuries for its supportive role in digestive health.

Flavor: Naturally bitter – best combined with herbs like ginger or fennel for improved taste.

🌿 Key Herbal Benefits:
Senna leaves contain Sennosides, a group of active plant compounds that:
Stimulate smooth muscle in the intestines
Promote bowel movement and support regularity
Are often used in herbal teas for short-term detox or occasional constipation relief
These sennosides naturally interact with fatty acids in the intestinal tract to increase motility and reduce transit time, making senna a popular ingredient in herbal wellness protocols and digestive teas.

☕ How to Use:
Senna Tea Preparation
Use 1 tsp of dried Senna leaf per cup of hot water
Steep for 5–10 minutes
Combine with ginger root, fennel, or peppermint to reduce bitterness and support digestion
Best used in the evening
