Senna leaves are often used to make laxatives and to relieve constipation.

 Here are some benefits of senna leaves:

 laxative
 Senna leaves contain compounds known as anthraquinones. These anthraquinones have a laxative effect by stimulating the intestinal muscles and promoting bowel movements. Therefore, senna leaves are frequently used in naturopathy and the pharmaceutical industry to treat constipation.

 Preparation for medical procedures
 Senna is used for bowel cleansing and preparation for medical procedures such as colonoscopy or surgery to empty the bowel.



 Dosage recommendation
 When using senna leaves, the dosage instructions should be followed carefully to avoid overdosing. Senna leaves are usually taken in the form of tea.
