Senna Leaf Tea (Loose) (8 oz, ZIN: 427491)

Senna supports the body's management of the excretory system and promotes healthy, regular bowel movements and a clean digestive tract. Hard stools or difficult bowel movements may lead to constipation, hemorrhoids, or anal fissures. - First used in ancient Egyptian and Arabian times, today Senna is one of the more widely used herbal supplements. It's the active ingredient in such products as Senokot, Fletcher's Castoria, and Ex-Lax Gentle Nature. - Senna grows in most tropical regions of the world. Both its leaves and its seeds contain active ingredients. - Hot tea brewing method: Bring freshly drawn cold water to a rolling boil. Place 1 teaspoon for each cup into the teapot. Pour the boiling water into the teapot. Cover and let steep for 3-7 minutes according to taste (the longer the steeping time the stronger the tea). - Iced tea brewing method (to make 1 liter/quart): Place 6 teaspoons into a teapot or heat resistant pitcher. Pour 1 1/4 cups of freshly boiled water over the tea. Steep for 5 minutes. Quarter fill a serving pitcher with cold water. Pour the tea into your serving pitcher straining the leaves. Add ice and top-up the pitcher with cold water. Garnish and sweeten to taste. [A rule of thumb when preparing fresh brewed iced tea is to double the strength of hot tea since it will be poured over ice and diluted with cold water]. - ZooScape is proud to be the exclusive distributor of TerraVita teas, herbs and supplements in the United States, Canada and around the world.
