Senna Leaf Tea Bags * Caffeine Free. Senna (Senna alexandrina) 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 Native Americans also employed the use of American Senna, a variety of the European species. Senna is often combined with various aromatic herbs. For more than 75 years, long before it became fashionable, Alvita was championing the profound health-giving properties of herbal teas. Alvita travels to the far reaches of the globe for the finest herbs, the best growers, the most precious sources. Small wonder that so many consumers trust the Alvita name. Today, it stands for more than 100 different teas, including classic single herb varieties, and our unique Alvita blends. The package you hold in your hand combines ancient herbal wisdom with modern science, and brings to you all the richness and benefits of herbal teas. This philosophy is the very reason why you will find sensible, English pillow style tea bags that are oxygen bleached, not chlorine treated. And why you won't find any strings, tags or staples. We thank you for choosing our product, but more importantly, we thank you for the trust you've put in the herbal values that we all share. Alvita.

Best tea ever,February 21, 2009
By ldogfrom Roseville, ca
"I read about Senna Tea in a magazine and I decided to try it out. I drank the first night and then another cup the next morning. I lost 5lbs. I kid you not. This tea works. They recommend you not to drink it for more than a week. I wouldn't drink it more than two days. It is a good powerful tea. So you want to lose a quick 5lbs here you go."

"Purchased the Alvita Senna Leaf Tea last year and it made me cramp really bad, broke out in a sweat and became very nautious. Tried it again last night and woke up this morning with severe cramps and a very loose stool. Senna leaf is too harsh for my system but I'm pleased to know it works for some. I will be giving the box to a co-worker who wants to try it."

"I purchased this product, Altiva Sienna Tea, not knowing that its' main use is as a laxative. Wouldn't it be wonderful if the Altiva people would include this clue on their product description? I drank a cup of this fairly tasty tea, assuming, from what I'd read on the carton, that it's just plain healthy for a person. Then, in the middle of the night I woke up with stomach cramps. The next morning? Diarrhea!! I had to go online and Google the words 'Sienna Tea' to find out what caused the problem. Altiva has just lost a customer."
"This product was recommended to me by my chiropractor 15 years ago. I have used it since then and have told 6 others about it, now they are using it on a regular basis."
