Description
Senna (Senna alexandrina) is one of the most well-known and widely used herbal laxatives in both Eastern and Western herbal traditions. The leaves of the senna plant contain active compounds called sennosides, which have been recognized by health authorities around the world for their effectiveness in supporting short-term bowel regularity.
OrganicMantra receives its senna leaves from reputable organic farms in India, where the plant thrives in the warm, semi-arid climate. The leaves are carefully harvested, shade-dried to preserve the sennoside content, and ground into a fine powder.
Senna leaf powder is intended for short-term, occasional use as a digestive support herb. It is not recommended for daily, long-term use without guidance from a healthcare practitioner. If you are looking for gentler, everyday digestive support, consider our Triphala Powder or Haritaki Powder as alternatives.

Have You Heard?
Senna has been used medicinally for years, with its first documented use traced to 9th-century Arabian physicians like Serapion and Mesue. The plant's active compounds (sennosides) work by stimulating the muscles of the intestinal wall. Today, senna is one of the few herbal ingredients that is recognized in official pharmacopoeias worldwide, including Health Canada's Natural Health Products guidelines.
FAQs:
1. How long does senna leaf powder take to work?
Senna typically produces effects within 6-12 hours after consumption. Most people take it before bedtime so that it works overnight.
2. Can I take senna leaf powder every day?
No. Senna is intended for short-term, occasional use only (typically no more than 1-2 weeks). Long-term daily use is not recommended without the guidance of a healthcare practitioner, as it may lead to dependency.
3. What is the difference between Senna Leaf Powder and Senna Leaf Cut & Sifted?
Senna leaf powder is finely ground for easy mixing into water or tea. Senna Leaf Cut & Sifted consists of dried leaf pieces, ideal for steeping as an herbal tea. Both are made from the same genuine organic senna leaves.
