I am suffering from constipation so drink senna tea when necessary. i am also trying to fall pregnant and wanted to know if the senna tea is safe/okay to drink.

Safe in small amount: However you haven't fallen pregnant yet, extensive use of any laxative during pregnancy isn't advisble except under medical supervision , good luck
