Senna Leaf Tea

Senna (Cassia angustifolia) is a small, peelable-bark shrub that 
grows in the upper Nile regions of Africa and the Arabian 
peninsula. Senna was used over 3500 years ago by ancient 
Egyptian physicians. According to a rare and amazing Egyptian 
medical papyrus, dating to the 16th century B.C., Senna was 
prescribed by the physicians for their distinguished patients. 
It was also used extensively by Arabian physicians, according to 
their 9th century A.D. writings. Senna was introduced to Europe 
before the Crusades and has been widely used ever since. The 
American Indians also employed the use of American Senna, a 
variety of the Eurpean species. Senna is often combined with 
various  aromatic herbs.
