Could to help my body digest properly, but i still need more. is senna safe for every other day usage?

No - senna is best: for short term use. It should not be used longer than 7 days. Prolonged used may cause dehydration, reduced potassium levels, liver problems,cardiac arrhythmia and kidney damage.
