Senna is a homeopathic remedy made from a plant native to central Africa.

The plant is senna, a flowering sub-shrub of the legume family.

To make the homeopathic remedy, the mother tincture is extracted from the dried leaves of the plant.

Sene pods are also known in the pharmaceutical industry for their laxative properties.

In homeopathy, sene is mainly used for its therapeutic virtues in gastroenterology.

Gastroenterology

Senna is a remedy mainly indicated for the treatment of digestive disorders that occur in attacks of acetonemia.

Acetonemia is a pathology that occurs mainly in young children and is caused by hypoglycaemia.

To compensate for the lack of sugar reserves, the body burns its fat reserves.

This produces a large amount of acetone.

This substance gives off a strong, apple-like odour.

The child or baby with this condition has bad breath.

In addition to this very characteristic smell of people with acetonemia, many other symptoms can be observed: stomach pains, repeated vomiting and discoloured stools.

The person also loses their appetite and rapidly loses weight.

The homeopathic remedy senna can be an excellent treatment to overcome these crises.

In particular, it can be used to treat digestive disorders and restore the patient's metabolism.

It is also good to know that, thanks to its laxative properties, senna can also be used to treat constipation.
