Coming from flowering plants that are often used in ornamentation or landscaping gardens, Senna leaves, or Folium Sennae, are often found in Southeastern Asian cuisine both fresh, and pickled in brine, and frequently as a flavoring agent in curry dishes.

Known for millennia in folk medicine and herbalism, Senna leaf has a long standing reputation for being useful in herbal tonics, with some even having famous (or notorious) names such as the Black Draught, Daffy`s Elixer and Swedish Bitters.

Today, it can sometimes be found in diet teas, where it is used both to decrease appetite and function as a laxative, sometimes resulting in rapid or dangerous weight loss.

More traditionally, Senna leaf has been used in Japanese Kampo medicine as well as traditional Chinese Medicine, where it is often viewed as a purgative, or an agent used to cause another to vomit. More modernly, the leaf has been used as a laxative, with study showing that it can be useful in constipation, where it increases the movements of the colon and thereby aids in digestive processes.
