Key Benefits of East Indian Senna Powder
1. Supports Digestive Health and Natural Bowel Movement
Senna is widely regarded for its natural laxative properties. It helps relieve constipation, supports regular bowel movements, and aids in eliminating toxins from the body without creating dependency.
2. Promotes Liver Function and Detoxification
Traditionally used to reduce excess Pitta (body heat), this herb stimulates liver function and helps remove impurities from the blood, making it beneficial for conditions like jaundice and fat accumulation.
3. Aids in Parasite and Worm Removal
Senna has antiparasitic qualities that assist in clearing intestinal worm infestations, especially in children and adults prone to gastrointestinal issues.
4. Anti-inflammatory and Skin Support
When applied topically, it can help soothe eczema, acne, psoriasis, and other inflammatory skin conditions. It also promotes healing of minor wounds and rashes due to its natural cooling effect.
5. Supports Weight Management
Senna’s cleansing properties aid metabolism and help in fat breakdown, supporting those looking to manage weight or reduce bloating.
