Abstract

Cassia tora, also known as Senna tora, is a perennial herb in the Fabaceae family, valued for its diverse medicinal properties. Traditionally used across various cultures, it is known for its laxative, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant effects. Recent research has highlighted its potential applications in treating skin disorders, improving liver function, and exhibiting antimicrobial activity. The plant contains bioactive compounds, including flavonoids and saponins, which enhance its therapeutic effects. However, further clinical trials are necessary to comprehensively assess its pharmacological efficacy and safety. Overall, Cassia tora holds promise for continued exploration in the field of phytotherapy.
