An extensive number of blooming plants in the legume family are used to make Senna, a herbal medication. Senna plant extracts and teas have long been used in traditional herbal medicine as laxatives and stimulants.
Senna, which was first grown in Egypt, is now grown all over the world, notably in Somalia and India. The majority of industrial products come from the plants Cassia acutifolia and Cassia angustifolio, sometimes known as Indian senna and Alexandrian senna, respectively.
Senna is now primarily offered as a tea or over-the-counter medication for constipation, however it’s also occasionally seen in drinks and weight loss pills.
