Sana Makki (senna leaves) is a true miracle of my Allah's creations & it is one of the valuable herbs of Tibb-e-Nabwi,
Ibraheem ibn e abi laila narrates that Rasululllah sallalalhu alaihi w sallam says necessarily use Sana and sanoot; because there is a cure in both of them from every disease except the “saam” some one asked ya Rasulalah what is saam? Replied that death! (Ibn e maja hadeeth no 3457)
.
when you take sana alone, it creates pain in the stomach which is caused due to contraction of stomach / intestinal walls, the contraction itself results in separation of old toxins & layers of putrefied ~ un-digested food. Prophet Muhammad Sallalalhu Alaihi Wasallam directed to take Sana with "SANOOT". About sanoot there is several opinions (1) honey. (2) Zeera (3) sonf/badiyan
So the best is to take with honey which is mixed with butter.
The leaf is a very effective laxative and purgative and is a particularly useful remedy for the occasional bout of constipation and is useful for evacuation relief in cases of fissures, hemorrhoids, after recto anal operations, and in preparation of diagnostic intervention in the gastrointestinal tract. It irritates the lining of the large intestine, causing the muscles to contract strongly resulting in bowel movement in about 10 to 12 hours after ingestion and also stops fluid being absorbed from the large bowel helping to keep the stool soft. It is sure and safe even for children (over 12 years of age) and weak and elderly persons. To prevent griping pains in the intestines, it is best when combined with a smaller amount of a warming stimulant and antispasmodic such as ginger or some other suitable herb. Sana leaf is approved by the World Health Organization (WHO) for short-term use in occasional constipation. Senna is also approved in the United States and in European countries as an ingredient in over-the-counter and prescription laxative preparations. The herb is approved by the German government for any condition in which alleviating constipation or softening stools is desirable.
Clinical studies suggest that Senna is effective in managing constipation associated with a number of causes including surgery, childbirth, and use of narcotic pain relievers. A study in the medical journal Diseases of the Colon and Rectum showed that Sana was able to prevent or treat postoperative constipation after proctologic surgery. The South African Medical Journal shows that treatment with sana was successful in 93%-96% of women suffering from postpartum constipation. By comparison, only 51%-59% of women in the placebo group experienced relief. Sana is considered to be one of the more effective agents for relieving constipation caused by such narcotic pain relievers as morphine. In another study published in the Journal of Pain and Symptom Management, researchers recommended the use of sana in terminal cancer patients with opiate-induced constipation, citing the effectiveness of the herb and its relatively low cost. A study published in the medical journal Pharmacology suggests that a combination of sana and bulk laxatives can alleviate chronic constipation in geriatric patients. Also useful in intestinal worms, rheumatism, sciatica, gout, hip pain and lumbago.
We (MAQ's HERBAL CARE) prepared a medicine in form of powder named “salaamah” with sana and other four ingredients.
