The use of senna in cultural and traditional settings may differ from concepts accepted by
current Western medicine. When considering the use of herbal supplements, consultation with a
primary health care professional is advisable. Additionally, consultation with a practitioner trained
in the uses of herbal/health supplements may be beneficial, and coordination of treatment among all
health care providers involved may be advantageous.
Senna is also known as Cassia senna, tinnevelly senna, India senna, Alexandrian senna, and
Khartoum senna.
Senna has been used in the treatment of constipation.
Senna has not been evaluated by the FDA for safety, effectiveness, or purity. All potential

manufacturing standards in place for these compounds. There have been instances where

Herbal/health supplements should be purchased from a reliable source to minimize the risk of
contamination.
