Senna leaves are employed as a brisk and safe purgative which increases the peristaltic movement of the colon. The laxative principles sennoside A and sennoside B, isolated from senna, constitute the important ingredients in purgative medicines. The drug is suitable for children, elderly persons and nursing mothers. The action of laxative senoside is mainly on the lower bowel. It stimulate the peristaltic movements of the colon by its local action upon the intestinal wall. This also results in decreased absorption of water and thereby a bulkier and softer faecal mass.
