Cassia alata, commonly known as Ringworm Bush, Candle Bush, or “Senna alata”, is a medicinal plant widely used in traditional medicine, especially in tropical regions.

Health Benefits of Cassia alata

1. Skin Health

Effective against fungal infections like ringworm, athlete’s foot, and eczema.

Leaves contain anthraquinones, which have antifungal and antibacterial properties.

Used as poultice or topical paste for rashes, wounds, and skin irritation.

Seeds and leaves act as a mild laxative, promoting bowel movements and relieving constipation.

The laxative effect comes from sennosides present in the plant.
