Senna Plant Benefits For Health: As stated above, senna possesses medicinal value which can provide various health benefits given below. 1. Senna For Constipation: Being a laxative, senna is effective in relieving constipation. It has been approved by the US FDA as a non prescription drug to treat constipation. Senna stimulates the muscles of the colon to push fecal matter through more quickly. Senna leaf acts on the intestinal walls to cause contractions that lead to bowel movements. It softens stool by enabling the colon to absorb water. It can effectively cure even the most severe cases of constipation. The glycosides in it help transport electrolytes, causing bowel movements within 6 to 12 hours of its intake. Senna can be bought as an over the counter (OTC) medication for adults and children above 2 years of age. 2. Great Colon Cleanser: Senna has been regarded as a â??cleansing herbâ?? due to its laxative effects. Senna leaf is used in traditional Chinese medicine to clear away the heat accumulated in the large intestine, helping the body get rid of the stagnant food accumulated in the stomach. Today, it is widely used in cleansing the colon before colonoscopy and other types of colon surgery. 3. Treatment of Hemorrhoids: Senna has been found to be effective in the treatment of anal lacerations and hemorrhoids as it helps reduce swelling and facilitates quick healing. Moreover, since it promotes soft stools, it helps cause easy defecation in pathological conditions like anal fissure. This is due to the fact that after oral ingestion, the compounds in senna get absorbed into the intestinal tract, resulting in the separation of non-sugar parts in the colon. These non-sugar components increase the peristaltic movements by irritating and stimulating the intestinal tract. In this way, it speeds up the passage of stools through the intestinal tract. 4. Treatment of Intestinal Worms: The laxative properties of senna have been found to be useful in the treatment of worms in the stomach and colon.  Senna Medicinal Plant: Nutritional Value: The nutritional value of this herb has been explained in the table below. As evident from the table, it is devoid of calories and fat but a rich source of vitamin B
SENNA PODS Senna has been used as a traditional medicine by ancient cultures all over the world for millennia. Senna is an Arabian name and 9th century writings describe how it was used extensively by Arabian physicians. According to a rare Egyptian medical papyrus, dating to the 16th century BCE, Senna was prescribed by the physicians for their distinguished patients. In North America, native tribes used the seeds (pods) as a mucilaginous medicine for sore throat. The Cherokees used the bruised root, moistened with water, for dressing sores. They also used it in a tea to cure fevers with black spots and paralysis as symptoms. Senna Pods Uses: Taking senna by mouth is effective for short-term treatment of constipation. Senna is an FDA-approved nonprescription drug for adults and children ages 2 years and older. However, in children ages 3-15 years, mineral oil and a medication called lactulose might be more effective than taking senna. Senna also appears to be effective for treating constipation when used in combination with psyllium or docusate sodium. In elderly people, senna plus psyllium is more effective than lactulose for treating ongoing constipation. Senna plus docusate sodium is effective for treating constipation in the elderly and in people who have undergone anorectal surgery. Taking senna appears to be as effective as lactulose, psyllium, and docusate for relieving constipation in people taking opioids or loperamide. Senna Benefits Constipation The most famous use of this herb is as a laxative and a purgative. It is now known that the laxative effects of Senna are due to anthraquinone glycosides known as sennosides. These compounds stimulate intestinal contractions that lead to the rapid expulsion of waste matter. Senna may also be able to soften the stool by assisting the large intestine to absorb more water and adding bulk to faeces. This allows for bowel movements that are quick and smooth as waste passes through the large intestine. Colon Cleanse Senna is often used to clear the bowel before diagnostic tests such as colonoscopies. Cleansing the colon is believed to improve nutrient uptake and support overall colon health. Anti-Parasitic:Senna also works as an effective vermifuge to destroy parasites and expel worms from the intestinal tract. It works best when combined with other anthelmintic herbs (used in the treatment of roundworm), such as ginger or fennel. These herbs increase regularity and reduce the chance of bowel cramps due to Sennaâ??s strong action. Digestive Health In the case of indigestion, Senna contains natural enzymes that help to restore gastric juice secretions in the stomach. Senna, if used in the proper dosage for certain periods of time, has shown potential in reducing irritability in the intestines by improving overall digestion. Senna also contains the anti-inflammatory compound resveratrol which can help to soothe inflammation in the gastrointestinal tract. Skin Health
Cordyceps Militaris 3 month old
1. In Bhutan, Cordyceps (Ophiocordyceps sinensis) are only found in the wild in the northern regions of the country at 3500-4500 msl. Every spring towards the end of April the fungus starts erupting out of the ground like a blade of grass, after mummifying the host caterpillar. 2. The collection and trade of cordyceps are strictly REGULATED and MONITORED by the government to ensure sustainability. It was legalized only in 2004. Until then, the locals had been collecting illegally and everything used to be smuggled across the border into Tibet (China). 3. ONLY MOUNTAIN PEOPLE are allowed to pick cordyceps. The government opens just ONE MONTH timeframe in May-June. Each household is issued with picking permits (according to the number of able people in the household) and everyone packs up their bags and go higher into the mountains to forage for cordyceps. Each person can find up to 7 PIECES A DAY and sometimes NONE. The sites are patrolled and monitored by the army and police to keep people without permits from picking up the cordyceps illegally. 4. In July-August the government organizes AUCTIONS in different regions of the country. After drying, the mountain people bring the cordyceps to the auction yards and register and submit to the auction officials. REGISTERED cordyceps traders converge to these auctions and compete to buy cordyceps. They are allowed to inspect every lot of cordyceps at the auction and bid accordingly. The transaction is on cash-basis only. The auctions last 1-2 days at every venue. The cordyceps are auctioned in many small lots after the officials grade them according to dryness, size, weight, and color. GRADES are normally expressed in terms of the NUMBER of CORDYCEPS IN 1KG. 5. ONLY REGISTERED CORDYCEPS TRADERS are allowed to trade and export cordyceps. Further, every lot of cordyceps must be inspected and sealed by BAFRA (Bhutan's FDA- Bhutan Agriculture & Food Regulatory Authority). The auction documents must be produced for each lot; otherwise, BAFRA won't issue the CERTIFICATE FOR EXPORT. After getting the certificate for export from BAFRA, the lot has to be declared at the customs department.
