Product Description
Senna Pods
Senna pods, also called sanay or sonamukhi in India, are flat, dried pods from the senna plant. They are used to make a simple herbal tea. The pods are thin and slightly curved, with a colour that runs from pale green to light brown.
Senna pods have an earthy smell and a slightly bitter, grassy taste. Most people steep them in hot water, then strain the liquid and drink it as a herbal infusion.
How to Make Senna Pod Tea
Senna pod tea is made by steeping the dried pods in just-boiled water and straining them out. The usual method is simple:
- Put the pods in a cup or small teapot.
- Pour over freshly boiled water.
- Cover and leave to steep for several minutes.
- Strain, and add a little honey or a slice of lemon if you find the taste too bitter.
Follow the directions on the pack for how many pods to use and how often. The pods are strong, so more is not better.
Senna Pods or Senna Leaves?
Senna pods and senna leaves come from the same plant but are different parts of it. The pods are larger, flat and papery, with small seeds inside. The leaves are small, narrow and green. If a recipe or a family method says "senna pods", the whole pods are what you need, not loose leaves.
Before You Use Senna Pods
Senna is a strong herb and is not right for everyone. Check with a doctor or pharmacist first, especially if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, have a medical condition or take any medicines. Senna pods are not for children.

We take great care when preparing and securely packing every order; however, during transportation, parcels may be handled by several parties, including the courier, and despite our best efforts, minor cosmetic damage such as dents, marks, scuffs or damage to external packaging may occasionally occur. Minor cosmetic damage that does not affect the product’s safety, quality or intended use will not normally be considered a product defect. This is particularly applicable to products supplied in cans, tins, plastic containers, boxes or similar packaging. If you receive a product that is broken, leaking, materially damaged, unsafe, unusable or otherwise not as described, please contact us within 24 Hours of delivery by email or telephone and provide your order number, details of the issue and clear photographs of the damaged product and packaging. We may require further information or evidence to investigate the matter and, where necessary, may take up to 14 days to complete our investigation. Where damage appears to have occurred during delivery, we may need to raise a claim with the courier, and you may be required to complete and return any Damage on Receipt (DOR) form or other documentation requested by the courier before the claim can be processed. Some products we sell are price-marked or display a manufacturer’s recommended or printed retail price. Please note that our online selling prices may differ from the price printed on the product because online orders involve additional costs such as picking, packing, packaging materials, warehouse handling, payment processing, website administration and delivery-related costs. You may therefore receive a product displaying a printed or recommended retail price that is lower than the price you paid online. The price you agree to pay is the online selling price displayed on our website at the time you place your order, and the presence of a lower printed or recommended retail price on the packaging does not, by itself, mean that the online purchase price was incorrect. Product images displayed on our website are for illustration and presentation purposes only. Actual product packaging, branding, design, colour, size, shape or appearance may vary depending on availability, manufacturer, batch or packaging updates. Such variations do not necessarily indicate that the product supplied is different from the product ordered, provided that the product itself corresponds to the description and specifications stated on the website. We ask customers to check their order and products as soon as reasonably possible after delivery and contact us promptly if there is any material damage, fault, incorrect item or issue with the goods.
