Senna (Senna alexandrina) is a flowering plant native to parts of Africa and Asia, known for its distinctive, bright yellow, trumpet shaped flowers and elongated, dark green leaves. The flowers are followed by long flat seed pods, a characteristic of Senna’s Fabaceae, or pea family. The Senna plant can grow to about 3 feet tall, preferring arid, tropical climates.
Senna has a distinctive, bitter taste, which has led to its use in a variety of traditional preparations. It is commonly taken as a tea to help support regularity in the digestive system. Safety precautions apply.
Precautions: Not for long-term use. May be habit forming. We recommend that you consult with a qualified healthcare practitioner before using herbal products, particularly if you are pregnant, nursing, or on any medications.
