Senna Leaf Powder

What is senna leaf powder?  Senna is a pea family member native to northern Egypt. It has long, spreading branches and yellow blooms that turn into flat, rectangular fruits as they develop. Thanks to their therapeutic qualities, senna leaves and pods have long been used in traditional medicine. Their modest laxative properties occasionally lead to the use of the leaves, which are thought to be more potent than the pods. We grind organic Senna alexandrina leaves to make our senna powder. Senna leaf powder works well in extracts, topical treatments, and capsule form. Senna promotes bowel movement by activating the smooth muscles that push the feces through the colon and inhibiting the smooth muscles that hold it in place. The plant is ineffective unless the beneficial bacteria in the colon convert the sennosides into rheinanthrones. How do I use senna leaf powder? Take one cup of warm water and ¼ to ½ teaspoon. Consume as a tea once or twice a day, or as recommended by your physician. B
