What is

The Cassia, "Cassia Fistula L.", is a shrub of the leguminosae family also called Seine.

Already used for millennia in popular medicine such as osmotic laxative since it stimulates the movements of the intestinal wall.

It is absorbed by the small intestine and acts on the colon only after having been transported by blood. Cassia's action is also expressed through the inhibition of the reabsorption of water and mineral salts by the intestine, so as to increase the liquids present and improve volume and softness of the stool.
