Talk:Senna (plant)

Comment on the 21 May 2006 edits by 202.52.242.109
I would like to better understand where all this information suddenly came from. This appears to be a wholesale lift from some other site, and as such it is very likely copyrighted material. Are the recent edits a copyright violation?

If this comment goes unanswered I will likely revert these edits.

Cassia obovata
Why is Cassia obovata listed (and redirected) here? Based on its name, it seems to be a member of the genus Cassia, not the genus Senna. Powers T 18:25, 23 July 2007 (UTC)

Allergies
Could we add a point about some people being allergic to Senna? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.194.222.182 (talk) 19:45, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

Senna usage
Great article. The question I had was answered,"How does Senna work"? I purchase Senna in dried bulk form. I place the dried crushed leaves of Senna and Camomile in a tea bag and drink the combination once every three or four weeks to make sure I am totally cleansed. Again, great article.

Verification
"senna pleurocarpa"

There is also a variety: Senna pleurocarpa var. angustifolia

 * Thanks for providing that. I've added a citation to GRIN to the article (which is a bit better than either of the above at establishing that the name is in current, recommended, use, as opposed to just having been published at some point). Kingdon (talk) 20:18, 12 December 2010 (UTC)

This is WIKIPEDIA
It is not a botany study book! I am just looking why this ingredient of a herbal tea making me poop. WRITE IT IN ENGLISH NOT BOTANYISH —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.242.93.85 (talk) 19:44, 13 March 2011 (UTC)

Medicine/Folk medicine
There should be some distinction between the article talking about the use of senna in so called "modern medicine" (surely this is just medicine... ) and herbalism folklore. The history of its usage in these systems is interesting but should be separated, at least in a new paragraph, if not by section, from its evidence based use in Medicine. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.243.236.10 (talk) 17:57, 30 May 2013 (UTC)
