Senna

Senna is a potent medicinal herb primarily used for its natural laxative properties. The dried leaves and pods (also called senna pods) are commonly used in teas, supplements, and traditional remedies to relieve occasional constipation. It is not typically used as a culinary spice due to its strong, bitter taste and powerful effects. Senna is regulated in many countries for medicinal use and should be used under proper guidance.
