Made from a blend of Senna Tea, Peppermint Tea and Ginger Tea.

 

Senna Tea

Senna alexandrina is a woody shrub with edible fruit and leaves that produce a stimulatory laxative effect when consumed. Senna is an FDA-approved over-the-counter laxative for short-term treatment of constipation or for bowel prep before surgery or a colonoscopy. Senna stimulates the nerves and colon to contract which helps to produce bowel movements. One randomized-controlled trial (STIMULAX trial) found that colorectal surgery patients receiving both stimulant (including senna) and osmotic laxatives recovered gastrointestinal function earlier with less post-surgery complications compared to those with placebo.

Peppermint Tea

Peppermint tea, made from the peppermint plant is a caffeine and stimulant-free beverage. Peppermint tea contains L-menthol and other phytochemicals that help to relax the nervous system and may be even more effective than anti-depressants, fiber and anti-spasmodics for those with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).

Limited research explores peppermint tea, however peppermint essential oils have been reported to relax digestive muscles thereby helping to reduce bloating, gas, spasms and pain and may be especially helpful for those with IBS.

Ginger Root Tea

Tea made from ginger root, a plant closely related to turmeric, is a caffeine and stimulant-free beverage. Ginger tea may also be consumed frequently for constipation-induced nausea or for slow intestinal motility. Randomized, controlled trials find that 1.0-2.0 grams a day of ginger reduces nausea and vomiting, and improves gastric function over placebo.
