Senna, also known as Indian senna or Alexandrian senna, is a powerful medicinal herb with a rich history of use in traditional and modern medicine. The active compounds in senna, called sennosides, are extracted from the leaves, pods, and flowers of the senna plant. These sennosides have a gentle laxative effect, stimulating the colon and promoting regular bowel movements. Senna extracts are prized for their ability to relieve constipation, detoxify the body, and support healthy digestion. The plant’s natural compounds also exhibit anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and antioxidant properties, making senna a versatile herbal remedy. Whether consumed as a tea, tincture, or supplement, senna extract offers a safe, natural way to promote overall gastrointestinal and metabolic well-being. Its long-standing use in Ayurvedic and traditional medicine attests to senna’s remarkable therapeutic potential.
