Bootea is the latest teatox to sweep the celebrity circuit. The Bootea 14 day teatox has already gained a cult celebrity following, with everyone from Michelle Keegan (who reportedly used Bootea before her wedding) to Made In Chelsea’s Jess Woodley, Caggie Dunlop and Nicola Hughes.

But as the news comes that doctor and journalist, Dr Lauretta IHonour, has started a petition to get the Senna laxative included in the tea banned, some questions are being raised over how safe it actually is.

I Honour has described the lack of awareness about the laxative as ‘worrying’, adding that it’s ‘designed for treating constipation by irritating the lining go the bowels.’ ‘It is not safe to be taken for longer than a week without medical supervision’, she added.
