Sesbania is a flowering plant in the pea family whose seeds and leaves are used in traditional medicine. It is commonly employed as a bulk‑forming laxative to relieve constipation and, in lower doses, as a mild sedative to promote sleep. The extract can cause drowsiness and should be used cautiously, especially by people taking other sedatives or with kidney problems, and pregnant or nursing women should consult a physician before use.
