Alexandrian leaves or Egyptian leaves, also known as senna, are a powerful solution for constipation problems. This herb is used for its excellent laxative properties. The sennosides they contain stimulate the colon, softening the stool and increasing fluid secretion. Clinical trials have proven their effectiveness, while its use differs from other laxatives, causing minimal abdominal pain.
Properties
Benefits of Alexandrian leaves:
- Treatment of Constipation: Senna enhances intestinal motility, treating constipation. Its active compounds promote natural contractions in the large intestine and soften the feces, facilitating their elimination.
- Preparation for Colonoscopy: In combination with other agents, it is used to cleanse the bowel before colonoscopy. Research data suggests that it is more effective than other single substances.
- Treatment of Hemorrhoids: Senna can relieve hemorrhoid symptoms associated with chronic constipation. However, further studies are necessary to confirm this result.
- Slimming: Compounds in senna seeds have slimming properties, promoting weight loss.
