Senna
(Cassia angustifolia) is a small shrub that grows about two feet high
and is found predominantly in Egypt, India, and the Arabic nations. It has
traditionally been used as an herbal laxative to support regularity.
Senna is
a large genus of about 250–260 species of flowering plants in the family
Fabaceae, subfamily Caesalpinioideae. This diverse genus is native
throughout the tropics, with a small number of species reaching into
temperate regions.
Senna: Because of the presence of
anthraquinones, senna species are used as the primary ingredient in certain
commercial stimulant laxatives. It is also the primary ingredient found in
most "dieter's tea." [more]

C. Senna usually contains more of the sennosides. Remedies For: Purgative, anthchiiintic, antipyretic, alterative, cathartic, laxative, vermifuge, diuretic Senna is a powerful cathartic used in the treatment of constipation, working through a stimulation of intestinal peristalsis. It is vital to recognize, however, that the constipation is a result of something else and not the initial cause and that this has to be sought and dealt with. Ayurvedic Applications: Indications: constipation, inflammatory skin conditions, hypertension, obesity Senna is a strong purgative that should be taken with care and in proper dosage. It has an irritant effect upon the intestinal membrane, and may cause griping, pain or nausea, along with liquid stools or diarrhea. It can be corrected by adding 1/4 amount of stomachic herbs, like ginger or fennel seeds, with its dosage. Senna is mainly for severe constipation, the constipation following a fever or for clearing Pitta from the small intestines. However, it cannot be used where there is inflammation in the G.I. Tract itself because of irritation. Rhubarb is considered to be the herb of choice in this situation as it has fewer side effects. Combinations: It is best to combine Senna with aromatic, carminative herbs to increase palatability and reduce griping, for instance by using Cardamon, Ginger or Fennel.
