BENEFITS

The sene contains anthracene derivatives (sennosides A and B). In the colon, the sennosides contained in the sena are digested by the bacteria of the intestinal flora and release anthraquinones which accelerate the transit in two ways: by inhibiting the absorption of water contained in the digested food (the stools remain soft ) and by stimulating bowel movements. The laxative effect of senna is also due to an irritant action on the walls of the intestine, which limits its use. Mustard contains flavonoids, mucilages, essential oils and resins. The laxative effects of senna are due to anthracene glycosides which increase the secretion of fluids and mucus in the intestine, prevent the reabsorption of water and electrolytes in the intestine, and stimulate intestinal motility. They soften the stool without increasing its frequency: about 8 hours after taking it, taking senna causes a bowel movement in constipated people. Sene is known for the laxative properties of its leaves and these fruits. They have the particularity of accelerating intestinal transit and stimulating peristaltic movements. Sene is recommended in cases of occasional constipation: it hydrates the stools which increases their volume and promotes defecation
