Senna Leaves

Senna Leaves (Cassia angustifolia or Cassia acutifolia) are dried herbal leaves derived from the Senna plant, which is native to North Africa, India, and parts of the Middle East. They are widely recognized and valued in traditional medicine, particularly Ayurveda and Unani, for their potent laxative and detoxifying properties.

Senna leaves contain natural compounds called sennosides, which stimulate the muscles in the colon, promoting bowel movements and relieving constipation. Because of their natural origin and effectiveness, senna leaves are commonly used in herbal teas, tablets, powders, and detox blends across the globe.
