Constipation due to diet, stress, or lack of movement

Gentle Senna

Supports Relief From

Gentle Senna is designed to relieve occasional constipation by promoting healthy elimination and addressing common causes like dietary imbalances, excess heat, and sedentary habits. It supports more comfortable, regular bowel movements without harsh stimulation.

In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), constipation often arises from internal heat, dryness, or lack of Qi movement. Gentle Senna clears heat, softens the stool, and promotes healthy flow through the intestines.

How It Works Holistically

Senna (fan xie ye) is a classic herb for promoting bowel movements and clearing heat. Japanese honeysuckle (jin yin hua) and microcos leaf (po bu ye) support detoxification, while magnolia bark (hou po) and bitter orange (zhi shi) move Qi and ease bloating. Kudzu flower (ge hua) transforms dampness and relieves fullness. Chinese rhubarb (da huang) and peach kernel (tao ren) assist with downward movement and clearing stagnation. This blend works gently but effectively to restore digestive regularity.

When Gentle Senna Is Right for You

Consider Gentle Senna if you experience occasional constipation, especially if it's linked to a low-fiber diet, excess heat from fried or greasy foods, or a sedentary lifestyle. It may also help if constipation is accompanied by a sensation of fullness, bloating, or dryness.
