Pharmacist's advice

Senna tea is for occasional use – long-term use can disturb electrolytes and make the bowel dependent on laxatives. If you need a constipation tea all the time, talk to your doctor and increase fibre and water intake.

With heartburn avoid mint and choose chamomile. Liver and bile teas do not replace treatment of gallstones.
