Senna Pods are dried Cassia angustifolia pods traditionally used as a stimulant laxative for short-term relief of occasional constipation. They contain anthraquinone glycosides, including sennosides, which support bowel movement by stimulating intestinal peristalsis. Senna pods are strong and should be used carefully, only when needed and never as a casual daily tea.
The bulk format is best suited to experienced herbal users, refill stores and makers who can label and manage senna responsibly. Why we love it: Senna pods offer a traditional, countable format for occasional constipation support. The bulk format is practical for controlled, clearly labelled use where careful serving guidance is maintained.
