Senna Leaf - Whole - Senna alexandrina

Senna alexandrina is a small, branching shrub belonging to the Fabaceae family. Native to regions of North Africa, senna is also cultivated in parts of Asia and Africa. The plant produces yellow flowers, slender branches, and flat, elongated seed pods.

Senna leaf has a long history of traditional herbal use and is commonly incorporated into botanical preparations intended to support regular bowel function. The leaves contain naturally occurring sennosides, which are responsible for senna's traditional laxative activity.

Senna leaf is generally considered more potent than the pods and is commonly prepared as an herbal tea or incorporated into formulated herbal blends and extracts.
