Senna Leaf
Bulk Dried Herb • Gallon Glass Apothecary Jar • 1–3+ Month Supply (jar 30% filled)
The decisive botanical mover for bowel clearance and detox flow.
Senna (Senna alexandrina, syn. Cassia angustifolia) is one of the most well-known stimulant laxative herbs in global herbal practice. Rich in anthraquinone glycosides (sennosides), senna directly stimulates intestinal peristalsis and fluid secretion, supporting bowel evacuation and short-term detox protocols.
