Both the leaves and pods may be used in many preparations. People in northern Africa and southwestern Asia have used Senna as a natural occasional constipation relief for centuries. It was considered a "cleansing" herb because of its cathartic effect. In addition, the leaves were sometimes made into a paste, and applied to various skin issues. Acne may be supported in this way.

It also helps to temporarily reduce fluid from being absorbed from the large intestine, thus contributing to softer stools. Senna is often combined with aromatic, carminative herbs such as Cardamom, Ginger Root, Peppermint, and Fennel, to increase its palatability.
