1. Effect of relieving heat and promoting stagnation: senna leaf extract has the function of purging and guiding stagnation and clearing excess heat. It can effectively treat heat knot constipation, habitual constipation and senile constipation.

3. Antibacterial effect: senna leaf extract has significant antibacterial effect on Staphylococcus, Diphtheria Bacillus, typhoid bacillus, paratyphoid bacillus, Escherichia coli and skin fungi.
Senna narrow-leaf contains sennoside C, that is, rhein - aloe-emodin - diananthrone - 8, 8 '- diglucoside. In addition to sennoside A and B, the pods also contain glucoside of rhein and chrysophanol, and trace amounts of aloe-emodin or emodin glucoside. Senna acuminata leaves and pods contain anthracene components of 0.85~2.86% and 2.34~3.16% respectively, from which rhein, aloe-emodin, a small amount of chrysophanol and sennoside A, B, C and other sennosides can be separated. These anthracene components exist as glycosides. This plant also contains 3,5-dimethyl-4-methoxybenzoic acid. The same plant, Senna auriculata, contains tannins, leaves contain anthocyanins, and bark contains polyphenol oxidase.
