- Pour hot water over the senna leaves.
- Cover and let it steep for 5–7 minutes.
- Strain and drink once it cools slightly.
💡 Best taken in the evening, as it usually takes several hours to work. Effects typically appear the next morning.
⚠️ Precautions and Warnings

- Not recommended for pregnant or breastfeeding women unless advised by a doctor.
- People with Crohn’s disease, ulcerative colitis, or intestinal obstruction should avoid it.
- Always drink plenty of water when using senna tea.
