What does SENNA mean in Scrabble?
noun
botanymedical
A group of leguminous plants whose dried leaves and pods are used to make a strong natural laxative, or the laxative preparation itself.
Senna grows as a shrub in warm regions, and traditional medicine has used its leaves and pods for centuries because they stimulate the bowel strongly and reliably. Pharmacies today sell senna as tablets, tea or liquid extract, usually recommending only short-term use since long-term reliance can irritate the digestive system. Several unrelated ornamental shrubs, such as bladder senna, borrow the name because their leaves or pods resemble true senna, even though they are not used medicinally. Herbalists distinguish true senna, of the genus Senna, from these look-alike plants that share only the common name.
