Senna glycoside, also known as sennoside or senna

It is a medication used to treat constipation and empty the large intestine before surgery. Sennoside A, one of the sennosides present in the laxative medication Sennosides along with other anthraquinone like hydroxyanthracene glycosides are the derivatives of Senna leaves. In the traditional and modern routine of medicines they have been used as proven laxatives in a natural way.

Senna is prepared for use by garbling, or picking out.the leaflets and rejecting the lead-stalks, impurities, and leaves of other plants. Premium quality Senna may be known by the bright, fresh, yellowish green colour of the leaves, with a faint and peculiar odour rather like green tea, and a mucilaginous, sweetish, slightly bitter taste.
