I've read that Senna Tea helps some people with constipation. My questions are

Which brands are the best?

How often should you drink it?

How long before you should get a result?

thanks

I’m starting on generic Senna (Biguerlai laxative) 2-gram tea bag and have taken it twice with welcome relief and success. In the first try last week, I steeped the bag in lukewarm water for 2-3 hours at 2:00am and drank it at 4:00am. It took 9 hours to work. Second time I prep the bag with lukewarm water at 2:00am and it worked at 11:00am. Will use it occasionally maybe every3 days interval.
