Senna is a powerful cathartic used in the treatment of constipation, working through a stimulation of intestinal peristalsis. It is vital to recognize, however, that the constipation is a result of something else and not the initial cause and that this has to be sought and dealt with.
Inflammatory skin conditions :
The leaves were sometimes made into a paste and applied to various skin diseases. Ringworm and acne were both treated in this way. It is also used in hypertension and obesity. Senna leaf is a strong anthraquinone- containing purgative that is used only in acute constipation. Though senna is a laxative, which theoretically should be good for vata, it is a peristalsis enhancer that will provoke vata in the long run through its bitter taste and cold energy. Because of its substantial squeezing action, senna is usually used along with carminative herbs, such as ginger and fennel.
