I must say that I have been taking senna since I was a child of about 8 years old. My mother gave me a cup of it without sugar right before bed. It relieved my bowels in about 4 hours. She advised me to only drink orange juice with lots of pulp for that morning. It helped a lot. I drank probably about 5 to 8 cups of orange juice with lots of pulp that morning. After the morning, nothing but pulp was coming out of my bowels. I knew then that I was clean. Using strong doses of senna can cause not only excessive bowel movement, but nausea or maybe vomitting. I have experienced nausea, but never had I vomitted.
I don't know if senna can make you lose weight. I only know that it cleans out the colon. If your colon is dirty, you probably have pounds of toxin so you will probably lose weight detoxing. It is recommended not to consistently use senna for over 7 days. I use it once every 6 months. I don't think it will continually help you to lose weight, but if you eat the right foods in portions after taking senna, you will eventually lose more weight. I was told that your metabolism works better with a clean colon.
