Our Teas

Senna is a shrub native to North Africa and Arabia and has been used for centuries as a laxative, cathartic and purgative. Senna’s leaves and seeds are medicinal, but should be used modestly. Because of its glycoside content, which helps transport electrolytes, it works to cleanse the colon creating a bowel movement that usually occurs within 6 to 12 hours after it is taken. Senna leaf contains essential oils, resin and tannin and it is best to take senna with aromatic herbs such as ginger, which help diminish flatulence that can ensue due to the herb’s strong purgative action. Ginger has a very calming effect on the bowels and digestive system. It also acts as a fat burner which can help to ensure that the weight you’re losing is from fat and not just general weight or water loss. Licorice root has been known to assist with lowering cholesterol and acid reflux, and cinnamon is known for its anti-microbial, anti-inflammatory, and anti-clotting properties. With all these health benefits packed into one tea, if you’re looking to detox, we suggest Detox Me!
