Senna Leaf Powder

Senna leaf powder is a dynamic botanical with a rich history in traditional herbal remedies. This potent powder comes from the senna plant, thriving in tropical climates and widely grown in Africa, Egypt, Sudan and India.

Senna, part of the Caesalpiniaceae family, with leaves that range in colour from grey to yellowish green. It also smells and tastes somewhat like tea. Sennosides, such as naphthalene glycosides, mucilage, flavonoids, and volatile oils, are among the anthraquinone glycosides found in senna.

Used since the 9th century AD by Arabian physicians and even found in ancient Egyptian pottery from 3150 BCE, senna’s believed benefits are truly timeless. Celebrated for its natural potency, senna leaf powder continues to be a go-to in modern herbal practices.

Senna leaf powder has several uses:

Senna leaf powder is used for its believed laxative properties. Its magic lies in the sennosides – natural compounds that are thought to gently stimulate the lining of the bowel, promoting a natural laxative effect. This makes senna leaf powder a go-to solution for those seeking relief from constipation and wanting to boost their digestive health.

Senna leaf powder is also believed to aid with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), haemorrhoids, and even weight management. Its natural efficacy and origins make it a popular choice in many herbal remedies.

Beyond traditional uses, senna leaf powder is fantastic for creating soothing herbal teas.
