Senate is a plant that contains active substances anthraglucosides, characterized by a strong laxative effect. The mechanism of action consists in irritation of the lining of the gastrointestinal tract, decreased secretion, increased peristalsis in the colon. The herb is recommended for chronic constipation, anal fissures and hemorrhoids. Do not remain indifferent to the therapeutic properties of the plant and those who struggle with excess weight. It is one of the main ingredients in the preparation of natural teas for weight loss . We remind you that before using decoctions, infusions and tablets containing hay, it is good to consult a doctor (gastroenterologist).
Decoction at home is easy to make. To do this, pour 1 tablespoon of the herb with 1 teaspoon of boiling water and let the tea brew for 3-4 hours. It is recommended to drink small sips before bedtime.
Prolonged use of the herb could lead to the body getting used to it, so it should be alternated with other laxatives.
