In this it is often used pickled in brine or fresh, and often as a flavoring agent in curry dishes. Known for millennia in folk medicine and herbalism, Senna leaf has a long standing as useful in herbal tonics, with some even having famous (or notorious) names such as the Black Draught, Daffy`s Elixer and Swedish Bitters. Today, it can sometimes be found in diet teas where it is used both to decrease appetite and function as a laxative, sometimes resulting in rapid or dangerous weight loss. More traditionally, Senna leaf has been used in Japanese Kampo medicine as well as traditional Chinese Medicine, where it is often viewed as a purgative, or an agent used to cause another to vomit. More modernly, the leaf has also been used as a laxative, with study showing that it can be useful in constipation, where it increases the movements of the colon and thereby aids in digestive processes.

| Slippery Elm Powder - 1 oz | |
| Slippery Elm (Ulmus rubra) is a tree native to North America that can grow over sixty feet in height. It possesses a rich red heartwood that most likely gave it its common name 'Red Elm' and it can also be found under the names of Gray Helm, Soft Elm, Moose Elm and Indian Elm, and is perhaps most closely related to the European Wych Elm. Its fibrous bark has made it popular for a variety of uses ranging from the creation of twine, rope, thread, and even bows strings. The wood is also popular in making sturdy wood structures, and was popular for wagon wheels due to its interlocking grain which can better absorb shocks. In modern usage its bark has become popular as a powder which is then often used as a tea. The tea is said to be good herbal remedy for soothing the digestive tract, and is even considered by some to be a useful treatment for easing Crohn`s Disease and Ulcerative Colitis. It has also been used to treat diarrhea, cough, and sore throat, and is sometimes used externally for wounds and burns. This is 1 oz of Slippery Elm powder. | |
