Beneficial features

Senna belongs to the legume family, it is also called the Alexandrian leaf, cassia, and hay.

In medical practice, senna leaves are used (more often they are called senna grass). Harvest the leaves when fully ripe, then air dry.

Anthraglycosides, which have a laxative effect, organic acids, alkaloids, flavonoids, glycosides, phytosterols, and resins were found in senna leaves.

Senna is considered the most powerful herbal laxative known to medicine.

The pharmaceutical industry produces senna in the form of herbal raw materials and in granules.

Senna application

Senna's laxative property is the main reason for its widespread use in medicine. Senna herb is useful for constipation, it is used to cleanse the body, as well as for diseases in which the condition requires unhindered emptying of the intestines and soft stools: hemorrhoids, cracks in the mucous membrane of the anus, ulcerative colitis and others. The laxative property of senna is also used in preparation for operations on the large intestine, peritoneal organs, or before intestinal fluoroscopy.

For the treatment of constipation and cleansing the intestines, a drink is prepared from senna leaves: 250 ml of cold water is poured over one teaspoon of raw materials and insisted for a day, stirring occasionally. After 24 hours, the infusion is filtered and drunk before bedtime. The drink begins to work in 6-8 hours. Exceptionally cold water is used to avoid abdominal cuts.

There are many good reviews about senna used for weight loss as part of a special diet. The diet lasts three weeks and its prerequisite is not to eat after 18.00 and use a nutritious mixture of figs, prunes, dried apricots, raisins. All components are taken in 100 g, grind with a meat grinder, add 100 g of honey and 100 g of senna leaves, steamed in advance with boiling water.

You can store this mixture in a glass container, in the refrigerator, and take it one tablespoon at a time for three weeks. The diet does not change radically, but excessive consumption of sweet, smoked, fatty foods should be avoided. Judging by the reviews about Senna, even before the end of such a diet, there is an improvement in well-being, a feeling of lightness in the stomach. Weight loss - several kilograms during the entire diet.

Senna's laxative properties are also effective for cleansing the body. To do this, take a decoction of senna daily for a week. It is brewed like this: 200 ml of boiling water is poured over one tablespoon of granules or plant materials and heated in a steam bath for 15-20 minutes, after which it is filtered. It is supposed to drink senna herb two hours after eating, preferably in the evening, because it is already undesirable to eat anything after that.

Reviews about Senna recommend the following scheme: on the first day, take 100 ml of broth. The next morning after the first application, abdominal pain may occur, a strong weakening of the intestines - about twice a morning. Stomach pains are usually mild, but if it will be difficult to endure them and the relief is excessive, the dosage for this evening should be reduced. Gradually, the body gets used to senna and the dosage is increased so that at the end of the cleansing, on the seventh day, 200 ml of broth is drunk. If cleaning is easily tolerated, it can be extended up to 10 days.

Thanks to this cleansing, fecal “blockages” come out of the intestines, which accumulate in it for years, sand and stones come out of the kidneys. You can carry out cleansing procedures using senna leaves once a month.

You can also practice more extreme cleansing with the help of senna, when 200 ml of broth is taken immediately without preparation for one or two days, but this is recommended only for people who are confident in the good condition of their stomach and intestines.

Contraindications

Senna is contraindicated for lactating and pregnant women, people with serious gastrointestinal pathologies.

According to reviews about Senna, it was found that its prolonged use can be harmful: due to constant indulgence, a deficiency of nutrients occurs, liver dysfunctions, and intestinal dystrophy appear.
