Senna (Sabal) (Cassia senna)
 |
Both senna leaves and pods (fruits) were used in ancient Arab medicine as safe and effective laxatives. Today, senna is recognized as one of the most popular and reliable stimulant laxatives. Use of senna is generally regarded as safe. However, as with all stimulant laxatives, long-term dependence may develop. Short-term use only is recommended.
