SENNA
(Classia marilandica)
American senna, wild senna, locust plant

Description: A perennial, 3-6 ft. tall. Stems are erect, smooth and round, slightly hairy, with even, pinnate leaves on long petioles. Each leaf consists of 8-10 narrow, oblong, pointed leaflets. Small yellow flowers are in loose clusters at leaf axils. Seed pod is a legume with joints twice as wide as long. Eastern U.S. in rich soils.

Medicinal: Cathartic, diuretic, vermifuge. Leaves are gathered while plant is in bloom. Since senna is somewhat griping, it is often combined with other herbs. Powdered leaves or tea, used for fevers, a strong laxative. Steep 1 tsp. senna leaves, 1 tsp. ground coriander with 1 cup boiling water for 1/2 hour. Take hot or cold, slowly, 3 times a day or 1/2 cup before going to bed. No more than 2 cups a day. A tea of the pods is milder, slower-acting. Combined with other anthelmintics to get rid of intestinal worms. A good mouthwash for bad breath.
