from the small, peelable-bark shrub that grows in the upper Nile
regions of Africa and the Arabian Peninsula. Senna grows in most
tropical regions of the world. Both its leaves and its seeds are
medicinal. Due to its stool-softening action, Senna is
especially useful for people with hemorrhoids or anal fissures.

hastening passage of the contents.

to the 16th century B.C., Senna was prescribed by the physicians

Crusades and has been widely used ever since. Senna is often
combined with various sweet-smelling herbs.
