Does cassia seed and senna leaf lose weight?

Can senna leaves lose weight? The fashionable point of drinking slimming tea is to "detoxify the body". To put it more simply, it is "diarrhea". This product mainly contains tea leaves, cassia seed tea, hawthorn fruit, lotus leaves, senna leaves, etc. Tea can eliminate fats in the gastrointestinal tract and improve the body's immunity. The theanine contained in tea can prevent cholesterol from producing blood clots that block the aorta, allowing blood to flow smoothly in the blood vessels, so it naturally becomes the backbone of slimming tea.

Senna is one of the common raw materials for slimming tea.

Senna is a common laxative, used to treat constipation due to heat knots, stagnation of food and abdominal distension. It is used in the hospital to relieve the pain of constipation for some patients with acute constipation. So can senna help you lose weight? Controlling the amount can indeed have an actual effect of losing weight in the short term. However, excessive intake will also cause side effects. The senna glycosides often contained in senna can inhibit the digestion and absorption of water by the intestines, greatly increasing the intestinal contents. It can also increase the support of the intestines, causing abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, etc. In severe cases, it can cause upper gastrointestinal bleeding, mainly manifested as upper abdominal pain, vomiting of ground coffee-like liquid, or tarry stools. Therefore, people with gastric ulcers or a history of gastrointestinal bleeding should not use senna.

In addition to this, taking too much senna can be addictive.

When many patients with constipation first start using senna, they can see immediate effects at a higher dose. However, as the use time increases, it is often necessary to increase the dosage to be effective. After stopping using senna, not only the constipation becomes more serious, but also withdrawal symptoms continue to occur. The main manifestations are palpitations, insomnia, restlessness, general discomfort and even pain.

Can senna help you lose weight? It is of particular concern to most women. However, women who take senna during their menstrual period or pregnancy can cause menorrhagia or uterine bleeding. Even long-term consumption of large amounts during non-menstrual periods can cause menstrual disorders. The laxative component of senna can also cause diarrhea in children through milk.

Generally speaking, senna leaves are only suitable for treating heat knot constipation. In addition, senna leaves cannot be cured and are only suitable for acute constipation and are not suitable for chronic and habitual constipation. Moreover, senna leaves cannot be taken in large amounts for a long time and should be taken in a reasonable amount of 3-6 grams in a short period of time.
