User Reviews for senna

Have been taking product for a year.(every second night). It works but have been experiencing morning nausea for the past month or so. Could this have anything to do with the senna tea?

despite my high rating, I truly have to warn against using this on a regular basis. I have some true problems with constipation and this has dependably worked. So I started daily use. Eventually the cramping and tiredness crept in. I believe perhaps my potassium counts are down--I'll check with my doctor. So one needs to understand this is for occasional use, not daily. It is gentle. It works. But NOT every day! (I took a pill in the AM and drank the yummie tea in the PM.)

I am currently conducting a study pertaining to "Branchworm". While investigating herbal treatments, this covered a wide area of skin issues. Plus a tea can be made with several different "Cassia" strains of herbs that are effective for making effective skin treatments. The "Cassia Root"-strain name "Cassia Fistula" is root for the common cold as well as many other uses. The leaves are laxative, antiperiodic and depurative. It is useful in skin diseases, burning sensation, dry cough and bronchitis.Since Doctors run from treating patients with Lyme disease, there needs to be people out there that are willing to find a cure for this "Branchworm". This is the second statement I have made since my study into "Branchworm" & its causes plus effects. Clearly it covers the reasons behind the complaints of "Morgellons Disease", as well as "Fibromyalgia", and MRSA.So far with a combination of other herbs, an extremely small amount will help push out "Branchworm".(1-3 seeds daily, 1/2 tsp.Oolong,1/2 tsp Lavendar,1 tsp. Chamomile,& 1/2 tsp Jasmine.There's no overnight treatment for "Branchworm" at this time, however taking different herbal treatments would have saved my thousands of out of pocket expense. I was given the "Western Blot Lyme Test" and it came out Positive in 2009. M.D.'s, I come from the medical world & I see a great failure on the part of dealing with the actual issues underlying "Fibromyalgia" & "Morgellons". When Patients come in with an undeterminable skin issue by you that looks like they scratched it up;it has bumps, a "Western Blot Lyme Test" should always be given. ©Branchworm is a copyright of 2009,2011,2012, 2013, & 2014. Any use of information contained in this statement today is to be used for the purpose of assisting Practitioners with their patients. To Patients, the "Herbal" way has been the best way for me.I will be writing a book regarding "Branchworm";until then I may release information on the internet under the name "Roma Romato".

got violently ill from senna. massive diarrhea and stomach pain. never again.

Over the last few years, my digestive system has slowed dramatically, to the point of 3 days without movement was normal, and it could be up to 7 before I ended up with fissures. I drink cup every evening, have no cramping or bloating overnight, and relief in the morning. It has truly been a life changer for me.

The stars tell it all!

Constipation was not horrible, but I often need some help. Had been taking 1 T coconut oil each am and pm. That worked well, but I was w/o it for 2 weeks while vacationing. Within 4 days, I needed something. Tried Celestial Laxatea. Drank only part of the cup the first time. (Young gdaughter easily distracts me... :) The next morning I had my first bm in 3 days. A couple of days later drank full cup as preventative. Huge bm next am; was much looser. Will not drink full cup again. Definitely will use as natural laxativeRead More Read Less

Instead of instant relief, I got instant abdominal pain! I took one cup of tea in the evening, and a few hours later, I am bloated and in terrible pain and discomfort. I'd rather be left constipated. Never again.

I don't quite understand the following dosage, as a single pill of Senna that I have is 500mg, one to three times a day. And the following is a suggested dosage I got from WEB MD: "For constipation in adults and children age 12 and over: the usual dose is 17.2 mg daily. Don't take more than 34.4 mg per day." Can someone explain this?

I have irregular bowel movements and retain water.I drink tea with senna In it occasinaly before I go to bed. The next morning I wake up and my stomach " rumbles" and I go to the bathroom. Not diareah but a large amount of stool. I noticed when i take it if I dont drink enough water throughoout the day I have stomach pains.

I have tried everything and it's the first time something natural works so well for me.

it was really good on my bowel movement and I don't feel any pain in my stomach if don't take it every day my bowel movement return to constipation

I am a paraplegic T-3. Dependent on Oxycontin and Oxycodone, very constipating. Use morning and night to reduce constipation. Still need Milk of Magnesia occasionally. 8.6 sennosides 3x morning and night

I have had irregular bowl movements my whole life. Before taking senna, I would go about once a week and usually have to take a strong laxative once a month to really clean me out. I discovered the senna pills at GNC about a month ago and have been really happy with them. Ill take them for a couple days and be as right as rain, and its really easy, smooth stool. On the off days I will still go but its not great, but I am not complaining. I am now going 4-5 times a week which is great.

I use senna tea in its natural form and have been very satisfied. I only use it as I need it and not as a regular application. I have found it to be very effective in relieving constipation in short order. I have let all of my family and friends know about it and for me, I will never by OTC processed laxatives.

I have irritable bowl syndrome & take a daily probiotic after breakfast. Adding one 6.8mg Senna tablet at night with two glasses of water has really helped keep me regular & not as bloated....
