Cassia Angustifolia, widely-known as Senna, is often used for a quick natural colon cleanse, but you should know some things about it before starting using it.

Action
Senna works as a fecal softener and colon stimulator. The effect depends on individual body-type and the dosage. Senna is effective in 100% of cases if taken in correct dosage. It leads to the:
1. Retention of fluid in fecal masses
2. Increase in fecal masses
Thus, the pressure in the colon increases and the fecal masses are “pushed” from the body.
Pluses
The pluses of this natural colon cleanse are: its effectiveness, low cost, absence of side effects, quick effect (you have to take 1-2 spoonfuls of senna tea before going to bed to see the effect in the morning).
Caution
But at the same time you have to know some very important things about senna:
1. Cassia Angustifolia does not suit for regular usage. The optimal course of treatment – 1-2 weeks.
2. If taken for long periods of time, Cassia Angustifolia can cause indigestion, stomach ache, nausea, lazy bowel syndrome.
3. Can cause distention, pain in the colon area and dizziness.
So, remember, than senna cannot be used as a regular laxative. Find safer natural ways of colon cleanse. Eat more fruit and vegetables and go in for sports to prevent and cure constipation.
Natural laxatives:
1. Oat meal
2. Read beet salad
3. Coffee (suits not all)
4. Dried plums (soak5-7 into hot water for 5-10 min and eat them before going to bed)
5. Raspberry with milk (take 2 spoonfuls of raspberries and stir with a glass of high fat milk and a teaspoonful of sugar and drink an hour before the meal or 3 hours after the meal).
