Avaram Senna (Senna auriculata) is a small shrub whose dried leaflets and fruit are traditionally harvested. It is mainly used as a purgative laxative to relieve constipation, to promote diuresis, and to help purge heat and stagnation in the body. Use of the herb can cause abdominal cramps, loose stools, and electrolyte imbalance, especially when taken in large amounts, and it is generally advised to avoid it during pregnancy, in children, or by people with kidney disease.
