Senna leaves, commonly known as Sonamukhi, Sonapatta, or Sanay Patte, are obtained from a medicinal plant traditionally used to relieve occasional constipation. The Senna herb contains naturally occurring compounds called sennosides, which stimulate bowel movements and help support short-term relief from constipation.
