Product description Dried Senna Leaf | USDA Certified Organic Senna leaf (Cassia angustifolia) comes from a small perennial shrub with a long and respected history in herbal traditions. First prepared as a tea by Arabian physicians in the 9th century, it soon traveled across North Africa, the Middle East, and Europe, where it became known as a cleansing herb that supported the body’s natural rhythms. By the twentieth century, senna had become a recognized part of modern herbal practice, and today it remains one of the most widely used herbal teas in the world. Its enduring presence reflects its ability to bridge ancient wisdom with contemporary wellness. The strength of senna lies in its naturally occurring glycosides, known as sennosides. These compounds pass through the upper digestive tract unchanged and reach the colon, where they interact with the intestinal microflora. This process stimulates natural elimination and supports the body’s cycle of release and renewal. Herbalists have long observed this effect, and modern understanding affirms what earlier practitioners recognized: senna encourages the body to let go of what it no longer needs. Beyond its physiological role, senna carries a symbolic place in holistic traditions. Its slightly bitter flavor has long been associated with herbs that help clear stagnation and invite clarity. In many cultures, bitter plants were seen as purifiers for both body and spirit, offering a way to reset and realign. When sipped as a tea, senna becomes more than a practical remedy. It becomes a small ritual of release, a reminder that renewal often begins with letting go.* Resealable Bag & All Natural No additives Non-BPA Packaging USDA Certified Organic Non-GMO Carefully packaged in California *FDA Disclaimer: These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration.
