Senna for Gentle Cleansing

Senna is one of the most popular natural remedies used worldwide as a laxative.

If you want to regulate bowel movements, support efficient metabolism, and improve appetite, adding senna leaves to your diet is recommended. Cassia or senna leaves have a laxative effect on the intestines, increasing the motility of the large intestine. They can be used for constipation, postoperative intestinal atony, and before surgical procedures.

How to Take Senna Correctly

Studies show that constipation affects approximately 30-50% of adults and 5-20% of children. Among older adults, constipation occurs five times more often. If you experience heaviness, abdominal pain, bloating, infrequent bowel movements (less than three times a week), nausea when eating, or loss of appetite, consider adjusting your daily routine and increasing physical activity. Try to include more vegetables, fruits, whole grains, legumes, and dairy products such as yogurt, kefir, and fermented milk drinks in your diet. Plan meals to eat small portions 4-5 times a day and avoid sweets, white bread, coffee, tea, rice, and fatty foods.

It is important not to overuse strong laxatives, as they can lead to dependency. The main recommendation is to start with natural remedies for stool regulation. As a constipation remedy, you can prepare decoctions of flax seeds, dill, chamomile, and senna.

At USA Apteka, you can find herbal medicines and supplements based on senna leaves, including senna leaves, herbal bricks, and infusions. The most popular products include:

Senna is non-toxic, acts gently on the intestines, and helps eliminate toxins from the body.

Usage Guidelines

1. Those suffering from constipation, hemorrhoids, proctitis, or atony of the colon are recommended to drink a cold infusion of senna leaves.
   Take one teaspoon of dried, crushed senna leaves and pour a glass of warm boiled water over them. Cover the container and let it sit for 24 hours, stirring occasionally. After 24 hours, strain the infusion and drink it before bedtime, adding a little natural honey if desired. The laxative effect occurs within eight hours.
   
   

2. For body cleansing in cases of liver, kidney, and gallbladder conditions, a senna decoction is often recommended. This helps eliminate harmful substances and toxins, removes sand and small kidney stones, and supports liver and bile duct function.
   Take one tablespoon of dried senna leaves, pour 250 ml of hot water over them, and heat in a steam bath for 15 minutes. Then strain the liquid. Consume two hours after eating according to this schedule: on the first day, take 100 ml; from the second to the sixth day, take 120 ml.
   
   

3. For high blood pressure and diabetes, senna infusion can help normalize blood pressure, lower cholesterol, and reduce blood sugar levels.
   Pour 20 grams of dried senna leaves into a cup of boiling water, cover the container, and let it sit in a steam bath for 30 minutes. Leave it for 45 minutes to cool, then strain and add boiled water to bring the total volume to 200 ml. Drink 100 ml before bedtime.
   
   

4. To aid in weight loss, a mixture that accelerates metabolism and promotes fat burning can be prepared.
   Pour 100 grams of dried senna leaves into 500 ml of hot water and let them steep for 60 minutes. Meanwhile, chop 100 grams each of figs, raisins, prunes, and dried apricots. After an hour, drain the liquid from the senna leaves and mix them with the prepared dried fruits. Add 100 grams of honey and stir thoroughly. Consume one tablespoon before bedtime for three weeks. The effect occurs within 7-10 hours after intake. Store the mixture in the refrigerator.
