From Ancient Purgative to Modern Medicine: The Journey of Senna Alexandrina (มะขามแขก) in Thai and Global Wellness

posts

Senna Alexandrina, known in Thailand as มะขามแขก, is one of the most storied herbal remedies in both Eastern and Western pharmacopoeias—a symbol of the rich fusion between ancient Thai wisdom and global medical science. Heralded for centuries as a gentle but effective laxative, มะขามแขก (Cassia acutifolia Del., Cassia angustifolia Vahl., also called Alexandrian or Indian senna) holds a unique place in household medicine cabinets, herbal shops, and increasingly, the laboratories of clinical researchers. What began as ritual healing imported along ancient trade routes is now at the heart of conversations about safe, effective, and natural approaches to digestive health, especially as Thailand and the world reconsider the role of traditional medicines in modern lifestyles.
