Senna Tea

This special, feathery-leaved shrub with warm yellow butterfly-like flowers spreads a spicy scent and can be found almost everywhere in the tropics.
Despite warnings that they are poisonous, the leaves of this plant, called "Dhiguthiyara" in the Maldivian language, have been used for centuries in the Maldivian diet in dishes such as "mas huni" and also as a medicinal plant. Almost all parts (leaf, root, seeds) of the plant are used by indigenous peoples in India as food and medicine. However, new discoveries have led to decreased consumption, allowing the good properties of this plant to be better appreciated, while its toxic properties have made people more cautious.
The roots, leaves, flowers, and seeds are used as laxatives. It is used as an antipyretic, dewormer, and as a remedy for convulsions and seizures. Senna Tea is therefore very popular as a natural medicine. Always be careful when using self-chosen remedies; do your research thoroughly or seek advice from experts.
Overwinter the plant in a cool and bright place, as they cannot tolerate frost. In the summer, they can be placed outdoors in a large pot.
