OUR CERTIFICATIONS

Overview

The seeds of the Senna plant are small, hard, and flattened. They lack the high concentration of sennosides found in the pericarp (pod) and leaves, hence their different application and milder nature.

  • French: Graines de séné
  • German: Senna-Samen
  • Chinese: Fānxiè zǐ (番泻子)
  • Arabic: اﻟﺳﻧﺎ ﺑذور (Budhur al-sana)
  • Spanish: Semillas de sen
  • Russian: Семена сенны (Semena senny)
  • Japanese: センナの種 (Senna no tane)

Unlike the leaves and pods, Senna seeds do not possess strong laxative properties. In traditional medicine, they are sometimes used for their purported benefits on skin health and for their cooling properties. However, their primary medicinal use is less pronounced compared to other parts of the plant.

For Traditional Formulations: The seed powder is typically used as a minor ingredient in complex herbal mixtures rather than as a standalone remedy.
