Important precautions:
Prior to initial use, it’s recommended to test for possible allergy (even though allergy to Cassia Obovata (Senna) is extremely rare. Put a small amount of pure Cassia Obovata on skin and cover with a Band-Aid strip for 24 hours. If a rash appears, you might be allergic to Cassia Obovata.
If you have “hard water” (water with extremely high mineral content), your hair may turn green due to the high mineral content in your water mixed with Cassia Obovata, so it’s extremely important to do a strand test first -if you use a “hard water” plumbing source.
