I would like to know more about "china slim tea". The ingredients are
Malva verticillata and Folium sennae (Cassia acutifolia).
Cassia acutifolia, Senna, is a stimulating laxative used for chronic
constipation. It contains anthraquinone chemicals that cause the bowel to
contract. Malva verticellata, a mallow, is a laxative which has a
soothing effect on the intestinal tract. Overuse of laxatives has many
serious side effects including a dependence on the laxatives so that the
body will not eliminate without them. If you are taking the tea for
either occasional constipation or for weight loss, the better option is a
diet rich in fresh fruit that will increase your health as well as help
naturally with elimination and weight loss.
