Senna tea is a type of drink that uses senna leaves as one of its ingredients. Senna tea may be used as part of a weight loss plan since benefits may include improved digestive health and the ability to work as a natural laxative. Keep in mind that these benefits are marketed by manufacturers of senna tea and have yet to be evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration. Consult with your physician before you use senna tea in order to lose weight.
Step 1
Purchase a supply of senna tea. Companies that make senna tea include Bija and Yogi. You can find senna tea for sale through the online web stores such as www.VitaminShoppe.com and www.Drugstore.com.
Step 2
Boil 1 1/2 cups of water. Place the senna tea bag in the boiling water and brew for approximately 5 minutes. If you find that senna tea has little effect, you may want to consider brewing for as long as 10 minutes. Flavor the tea with lemon if desired.
Step 3
Consume the senna tea twice a day--once in the morning and again in the late afternoon. Most companies offer a decaffeinated blend, so it should not affect your sleeping habits.
Step 4
Eat a lighter diet. To help aid the senna tea with digestion, consume mostly green salads, lean proteins like chicken, turkey and fish, whole-grain breads and fruits as your snack choices. Continue to drink a lot of water throughout the day.
Step 5
Exercise while using senna tea to lose weight. If you want to drop the pounds, you'll have to do more than drink the tea. Try to spend 30 to 60 minutes a day participating in some form of aerobic exercise, like running, swimming or cycling.
