After the overindulgence of the holidays, some people turn to senna tea to help cleanse their system and stimulate weight loss. A natural product typically made from the leaves of the senna plant, senna tea is also widely used as a constipation remedy.

Senna contains compounds called anthraquinones, which are powerful laxatives. Although a number of studies suggest that senna may help alleviate constipation, there is currently a lack of scientific evidence to support any health-related claim for senna tea. What's more, there's some concern that excessive intake of senna may lead to serious health problems (including heart function disorders and liver damage).
