1 cassia angustifolia vahl is a herb that is generally used for its laxative properties. senna is also known as cassia senna, wild senna, cassia marilandica, or locust plant. it works by interacting with the bacteria in the digestive track, resulting in intestinal contractions. these contractions are caused by the anthraquinone that is contained in senna.

cassia aangustifolia extract contains glycosides, which are a group of organic compounds that are commonly found in plants. these compounds work as a laxative by smoothing the muscles as digested food moves through the intestines. this helps to enhance the stool volume and move it out of the colon. the process is caused by the chain of fatty acids that promote digestion, fermentation, and successfully converting the glycosides into a purgative agent.
