I take Smooth Move tea and am very happy with the treatment. I've tried every prescription and non-prescription medicine to help with severe constipation and this is by far the most effective and gentlest. It doesn't make me bloated nor give me sharp cramps like so many laxatives. Some tips: 1. Take at night to produce bowel movement first thing in morning. Be prepared for several movements throughout the morning. Mine typically ease up by lunch. 2. To avoid nausea, chills, fatigue, cramping, etc, drink plenty of water. It also helps to drink an EmergenC or some other form of electrolytes right after or before your bowel movement. Dehydration causes all those nasty side effects so keep yourself hydrated and your electrolytes up. 3. Be sure to take your probiotic to replenish the healthy digestive bacteria again. 4. Avoid spicy foods, fried foods or anything particularly rich while on senna. Stick to bland foods that your stomach can easily digest. Remember, the senna works because it's irritating your stomach/colon lining. Don't add anything to the mix that will further irritate it.

I have IBS, started taking Organic Smooth Move tea with 1080mg of senna once per day after dinner. It works when I get up for work, sometimes I have to go a couple more times in the day. Very loose stools. Some cramping before it hits. Worth it!!

I have just discovered the wonders of Senna tea - it works like a miraculous charm. Sometimes I get slight stomach cramps, but nothing major (and the end result is definitely worth it). However - only use ONE tea bag - I thought I'd be clever and brew a double-strong cup, won't be doing that again (I'm currently using Alvita, which is just plain senna leaves - I will soon be trying out triplel ...

However - only use ONE tea bag - I thought I'd be clever and brew a double-strong cup, won't be doing that again (I'm currently using Alvita, which is just plain senna leaves - I will soon be trying out tripleleaf bc it's flavored better and includes other stomach-soothing herbs like ginger). You should probably drink a few cups of water before or after too, couldn't hurt.

After eating homemade bean tacos/burrito's for several days with all the trimmings I was plugged up big time. Nothing helped me. I ran across senna leaves in a health food store that I worked in and tried them. I don't remember how many leaves that I used maybe 6 but I brewed them in some strong coffee. Getting past the nasty taste was the hardest part. The mixture worked like a charm. Some intes ... Show Full Comment

Getting past the nasty taste was the hardest part. The mixture worked like a charm. Some intestine pain but well worth the suffering to get things moving again.
