A popular herbal infusion for people looking for a rapid, noticeable change in body feel and appearance is ballerina tea, also known as “3 Ballerina Tea.” The piece introduces ballerina tea as an herbal blend combining senna (a potent natural laxative) and Chinese mallow. Senna stimulates the intestines in a manner that is almost synchronized, causing wave-like contractions to improve waste passage and reduce water absorption in the colon.

Key Ingredients and Uses

• Senna (Cassia angustifolia) and Chinese mallow (Malva verticillata)
