Thank you for the idea, however, I would not advise anyone with IBS-C to drink senna tea! Just because it's natural it doesn't mean it safe! It is just another form of laxative and it acts the same way as the chemical pills by irritating the bowel and causing it to contract. A person with IBS is very likely to get more pain and bloating from it. If a laxative has to be used, there are much gentler alternatives such as miralax or milk of magnesia.
