Senna is used in the pharmaceutical industry as an anthraquinone laxative.
For centuries, senna has been employed as a laxative, usually taken as tea prepared from the pods or leaves. Tea made from the pods tends to be gentler in its action that tea made from senna leaves.
Taste & Aroma
Seed pods are oval-shaped, without significant aroma. Not as unpleasant as the leaf, but flavor improves when combined with ginger, peppermint or lemon.
