Elixir of Senna
Arcana Lacquer · In Stock Shades, Society of Apothecaries
Thermal Elixir of Senna is a deep green (cold) to grey (warm) thermal with green-teal-blue shimmers. Senna has been used for centuries as a plant based remedy, most commonly as a stimulant laxative. It was prescribed for costiveness, sluggish digestion, and what was described as internal imbalance. Preparations containing senna were often framed as a way to cleanse the body and restore order, part of a long tradition of botanical medicines that focused on purging and renewal. Products like this were widely available and heavily relied upon, especially at a time when plant based remedies were some of the most accessible forms of treatment. Senna became associated with correction and regulation, a reminder of how much early medicine centered on the idea that the body needed to be managed back into balance.
