Why do people take senna?

Research has found that senna may help with constipation. It seems to stimulate the intestines. It may work for constipation caused by pregnancy, surgery, or drug side effects. There's also some evidence that senna effectively cleans out the bowels before a colonoscopy.

Some studies have shown that other products are more effective in children from the ages of 3 to 15.

Benefits of Senna extract

Senna extract is known for its ability to improve digestion and relieve constipation. The active compounds in senna extract work by stimulating intestinal muscles, promoting bowel movements and relieving constipation. Additionally, senna extract can help relieve some skin problems, making it a versatile ingredient that promotes overall health and well-being.

Constipation

The most famous use of this herb is as a laxative and a purgative. It is now known that the laxative effects of Senna are due to anthraquinone glycosides known as sennosides. These compounds stimulate intestinal contractions that lead to the rapid expulsion of waste matter.
Senna may also be able to soften the stool by assisting the large intestine to absorb more water and adding bulk to faeces. This allows for bowel movements that are quick and smooth as waste passes through the large intestine.

Colon Cleanse

Senna is often used to clear the bowel before diagnostic tests such as colonoscopies. Cleansing the colon is believed to improve nutrient uptake and support overall colon health.

Anti-Parasitic

Senna also works as an effective vermifuge to destroy parasites and expel worms from the intestinal tract. It works best when combined with other anthelmintic herbs (used in the treatment of roundworm), such as ginger or fennel. These herbs increase regularity and reduce the chance of bowel cramps due to Senna’s strong action.

Digestive Health

In the case of indigestion, Senna contains natural enzymes that help to restore gastric juice secretions in the stomach.  Senna, if used in the proper dosage for certain periods of time, has shown potential in reducing irritability in the intestines by improving overall digestion.

Senna also contains the anti-inflammatory compound resveratrol which can help to soothe inflammation in the gastrointestinal tract.

Skin Health

Senna leaves contain essential oils and tannins that help to alleviate skin inflammation. With a strong antibacterial activity, they can be made into a compress which can be applied to wounds and burns.
Acetone and ethanol - other compounds present in Senna - can fight the microorganisms that cause acne. Senna also helps to reduce sebum production and increase cell regeneration and collagen production.

Common side effects of senna, which happen in more than 1 in 100 people, are stomach cramps and diarrhoea. You are particularly likely to get stomach cramps and diarrhoea with senna if you have constipation related to irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). Stop taking senna if you get diarrhoea.
