Senna Leaves (Barg-e-Sana) In Pakistan

Description

Senna is a yellow-flowered plant typically grows in India and China. The leaves of the senna plant are used in medicines and herbal supplements to treat constipation.

Senna is used for treating constipation. The leaf causes the walls of your large intestine to contract, which will push stools through your system. Senna leaf is a natural anti-inflammatory substance. While this has general health benefits, it also makes senna useful in relieving some symptoms associated with hemorrhoids.

Precautions

Senna is considered generally safe, but some precautions are necessary if you are using this powerful herb. If you suffer from a colon disorder or heart disease, consult with a doctor before taking senna.

Senna leaf can also cause side effects such as nausea, vomiting or an upset stomach and can have an adverse effect on certain medications, including diuretics, blood thinners and digoxin.

If you are taking any of these medications, speak with your doctor before taking senna leaf in any form.
