User Reviews for senna

I take 2 senna per day and herbal tea. Results in gas and pain. Bowel movements twice a week at at the most.

I started drinking senna tea for the relief of constipation which began towards the end of my junior year abroad in Italy. It initially helped but then my constipation got worse so I started drinking more tea, and at first it helped. But then it got worse again and this spiraling pattern repeated itself again and again. My doctor never said anything about senna tea only being a short term treatment and that long term use would make my constipation worse not better. When I read the warning on the box not to drink it for more than 2 weeks and mentioned it, he was not concerned. I have been through hell and it could have been avoided. I have not had any senna for over a year, exercise an hour daily, drink lots of water, eat a very healthy diet and meditate every day. I avoid stress whenever I can which sometimes is not possible. My constipation has slowly improved but I did not see any improvement for the first 9 months with no senna. My advice is never drink senna tea unless if you are dying of thirst. Read More Read Less

Damn this thing work like a charm. 3 times and counting..........

I have followed the directions on the "super Dieter's tea" which I purchased though GNC, sold as a colon cleanse. The gentleman that worked there said it was the strongest natural laxative that GNC carries. Well after a week I have not had a movement anymore than the little I was going before. I also have severe stomach pain when I mix this with my regular Vitamins and workout pills and powders. There is NO warning about drug interactions on the box or in the pamphlet inside the box. I had to look it up on the internet to find this out. As of today I will NOT be taking Senna Tea anymore, and I have set up an appointment w/my doctor. Please be aware of the possible side effects and drug interactions before taking Senna in any form. Thank you, Wendy D. in Va. Read More Read Less

works great, but make sure you are near a bathroom about 3 hrs. after drinking senna tea, you'll need it :-)
