Our senna leaf is obtained from Alexandrian Senna, a species of plant in the Senna genus that is native to Egypt and commercially cultivated in India. It is so-named because it was in common trade at the time that Alexandria was the primary port in which the herb was imported and shipped across the Mediterranean sea.

Whole senna leaf is traditionally used to make teas, infusions and tisanes.

Senna, also known as locust plant, is a member of the pea family that is native to Egypt and cultivated in several other tropical countries, including India and Somalia. Because the herb was transported across the Mediterranean Sea to Europe and Asia via the Egyptian seaport of Alexandria, senna is also known as Egyptian Senna and Alexandrian Senna.
