St Severin laxative tea, 70 G

St. Severin Laxative Tea contains a beneficial combination of senna fruit, peppermint and yarrow, which naturally promotes faster bowel movements.

The active ingredients in senna fruit are anthraquinones, which stimulate intestinal peristalsis and lead to faster bowel transit. This means that less water is drawn from the stool. In addition, water is transported from the intestinal wall into the bowel. The stools become softer overall and their volume increases. Peppermint and yarrow also have digestive properties. One cup of St. Severin laxative tea before bedtime usually results in gentle and mild bowel movement approximately 8–10 hours after consumption.
