These leaves are renowned for their natural laxative effects and are widely used to support healthy digestion and relieve occasional constipation by promoting smooth bowel movements. In Ayurveda, Senna is classified as "Virechana Dravya," meaning it has purgative qualities that help cleanse the colon and eliminate toxins (ama) from the body. It is believed to balance aggravated Kapha and Pitta doshas while aiding in detoxification and maintaining a healthy digestive system.
