The stem is erect, smooth, and pale green to light brown with long spreading branches. Leaves are compound with four to eight pairs of leaflets. It is mucilaginous with sweet taste and peculiar odour. The flowers are small and yellow. The pods are broadly oblong, about 5-8 cm long and 2-3 cm broad bearing about six to nine seeds. Cassia angustifolia is cultivated mainly in India and Pakistan [6] and is native to tropical Africa and cultivated in Egypt, Sudan, and elsewhere. Senna is popular as used worldwide as natural laxative. The drug senna is mentioned in various texts of indigenous systems of medicine (Ayurveda, Siddha Unani and Homoeopathy) in India, pharmacopeias of United States, United Kingdom, Germany, and other counties. The drug senna is widely used as a purgative, laxative, expectorant, wound dresser, antidysentric, and carminative. Senna leaves are commonly used as natural laxative both in modern as well as in traditional systems of medicine.

Chemical Constitution of Senna Leaf Extract
Sennosides are the anthraquinone glycosides; (four types of Sennoside A, B, C, and D) found in large quantities in leaves (2.0-3.0%) and pods (3.0-4.0%) of Senna (Cassia angustifolia). Sennosides A and B are homo-dianthrones (dimers of two similar anthrone moieties) of Rhein anthrone whereas Sennoside C and D are hetro-dianthrones of Rhein and Aloe-emodin anthrones. Sennoside A and B contribute for around 80% of the biological activity of senna. Sennosides act on the large intestine to stimulate peristalsis (the muscular activity of the colon leading to elimination). In plant, the sennosides are absent in fresh parts and form only during post harvest drying. The dried leaflets and pods are main tissue used in herbal medicine and the pharmaceutical industry.
Health Benefits of Senna Leaf Extract
By stimulating the gastrointestinal tract and the colon, senna leaf powder extract works as a laxative. It softens the stools that may be built up in the colon, and then speeds along the contents to move out of the body. This gives the body less time to absorb fluid from the stool, so that it remains soft. This can be helpful for those who feel that they have a buildup of toxins or waste products in the colon, due to constipation or other digestive issues, and wish to cleanse their intestines. It is often combined with other cleansing agents to help purify the liver and kidneys as well. Senna leaf extract is excellent for anyone who is looking for a supplemental tea that can aid with the detoxification process.
Senna Leaf Extract Side effects
Senna can cause diarrhea, which may lead to dehydration and electrolyte imbalance. You may experience nausea or vomiting, although these issues are less common. Some people may be allergic to senna leaves. The color of your urine may change while you are taking senna laxatives, but should go back to normal when you stop. Avoid using senna for long periods of time, as chronic use may impair the normal function of your colon, cautions the American Cancer Society. Consult with your doctor before using senna if you are pregnant or nursing.
