OUR CERTIFICATIONS

Overview

These are the woody parts of the Senna shrub. While they are part of the same potent plant, they are not the primary source of its famous purgative effects.

  • French: Tiges de séné
  • German: Senna-Stängel
  • Chinese: Fānxiè jīng (番泻茎)
  • Arabic: اﻟﺳﻧﺎ ﺳﯾﻘﺎن (Siqan al-sana)
  • Spanish: Tallos de sen
  • Russian: Стебли сенны (Stebli senny)
  • Japanese: センナの茎 (Senna no kuki)

The stems and stalks of the Senna plant contain the lowest concentration of active laxative compounds (sennosides). They are generally considered waste material in the preparation of medicinal-grade Senna but may be included in less refined powders. Their primary characteristic is their high fiber content.

  • For High-Fiber Formulations: Can be used as a bulking agent or fibrous component in non-medicinal herbal preparations.
