SENNA EXPORT


SENNA EXPORT





What is Senna?

Senna is an herb. The leaves and the fruit of the plant are used to make medicine.
Senna is an FDA-APPROVED nonprescription LAXATIVE. It is used to treat CONSTIPATION and also to clear the BOWEL before diagnostic tests such as COLONOSCOPY.
Senna is also used for irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), hemorrhoids, and weight management.
Senna fruit seems to be gentler than senna leaf. This has led the American Herbal Products Association (AHPA) to warn against long-term use of senna leaf, but not senna fruit. The AHPA recommends that senna leaf products be labeled, "Do not use this product if you have abdominal pain or diarrhea. Consult a healthcare provider prior to use if you are pregnant or nursing. Discontinue use in the event of diarrhea or watery stools. Do not exceed recommended dose. Not for long-term use.”

In CY2015, India exported senna leaves worth $15.07 million with a majority of shipments directed to Vietnam (15.81%), China (12%), Japan (11.26%), Germany (8.28%), and US (5.35%). And the good thing is that India's exports of this product has almost tripled over the last decade to $15.07 million in CY2015.
