Senna Powder is a finely milled leaf powder from Cassia angustifolia , traditionally used for short-term relief of occasional constipation. It is a focused home apothecary herb with a neutral, earthy taste and a stimulant laxative action that is typically felt within 6-12 hours. The powder format allows small, measured servings in warm water or herbal tea. It is best used only when needed, at the lowest effective amount and for the shortest possible time.
♡ Why we love it: Senna powder is simple to measure and quick to prepare when short-term constipation support is needed. A little ginger or fennel can help improve the flavour and make the cup gentler to drink.
