Wild Senna

Wild Senna

 Senna hebecarpa, with the common names American senna and wild senna, is a species of legume native to eastern North America. Senna is also known as wild senna, cassia marilandica, or locust plant.
It works by interacting with the bacteria in the digestive tract, resulting in intestinal contractions. In India, it has been used as a laxative for thousands of years. Several senna species are purgatives or laxatives depending on the dose. The leaves and pods of the wild senna contain compounds called anthraquinones, which are powerful laxatives. For this reason cattle and other herbivores avoid grazing the plants.
