This tea is named honestly. It's for people who want their digestive system to work the way it's supposed to — regular, comfortable, no drama. Not a laxative, not a harsh cleanse. A gentle daily blend of herbs that have been used in traditional digestive medicine for centuries, working with your gut rather than forcing it.
Blended and packaged in small batches at Mayim Farm in Opp, Alabama. Best taken in the evening as part of a consistent nightly routine.
What's In It
-
Senna Leaf — a well-established gentle laxative herb used in traditional medicine worldwide; stimulates normal peristaltic movement
-
Licorice Root — soothes the gut lining, reduces inflammation in the digestive tract, and softens the action of senna
-
Peppermint Leaf — antispasmodic; relaxes the smooth muscle of the gut and relieves bloating and cramping
-
Fennel Seed — carminative; reduces gas and bloating and supports comfortable digestion
-
Ginger Root — warming and anti-nausea; stimulates digestive secretions and supports motility
How to Use
Steep 1 tablespoon in 8 oz of hot water for 5–7 minutes. Drink one cup in the evening before bed. Effects are typically felt within 6–12 hours — which means a comfortable morning for most people. Start with one cup every other night and adjust based on your response. This is a gentle blend but senna is dose-dependent — more isn't always better.
Not for daily use indefinitely — best used as needed or in short courses of 1–2 weeks, then a break. Avoid during pregnancy.

Frequently Asked Questions
How is this different from a harsh laxative?
OTC laxatives often work by drawing water into the colon or by strong chemical stimulation, which can cause cramping and urgency. This blend uses senna at tea-quantity doses, softened by licorice and antispasmodic herbs, for a gentler and more gradual effect. Most people experience comfortable relief rather than urgency.
Can I use this every night?
Short-term daily use is fine. For ongoing regularity issues, we'd suggest using it as needed rather than every single night indefinitely — extended daily senna use can reduce your gut's natural motility over time. Address the underlying cause (hydration, fiber, movement) alongside using the tea.
When will it work?
Typically 6–12 hours after drinking it. Take it before bed, and most people feel it in the morning. If you take it and nothing happens, try a slightly stronger brew or a second cup the following night.
Is this safe during pregnancy?
No. Senna is contraindicated during pregnancy. If you're pregnant and dealing with constipation, consult your midwife or OB for safe options.
