Reviews about senna leaves

Frequently there are reviews of people who used as a laxative senna leaves. Patients note that with a properly selected dose, you can achieve a regular mushy stool with no pains in the abdomen and painful desires. The convenience of using a tablet form or tea in bags is noted. In most cases, the stool was restored 3-4 after taking the drug. The use of plant laxatives in children is associated with inconveniences, which are associated with the fact that it is difficult to take into account the concentration of active anthroglikozids, so an overdose and side effects may occur. Children often use tablets (Senadexin, Tisasen).
As for the cases when senna leaves were used for weight loss, the responses vary. Taking decoctions and tea leaves of Senna for the purpose of losing weight, women achieve loosening of the chair, the evacuation of food from the intestine is accelerated, and it is poorly digested. The plant itself does not affect the metabolism and weight loss results are questionable, as reported by Internet users. As a rule, for this purpose, preparations of Senna take long and uncontrolled. Long-term use entails the loss of electrolytes (potassium), the appearance of red blood cells and protein in the urine, colitis with atrophy of the mucosa and muscle shell, the deposition of melanin in the intestinal mucosa. It should be borne in mind that with prolonged use, the appearance of hepatotoxicity and the development of intestinal atony with the formation of chronic habitual constipation.
