When you’re starting out in the herbal export business, especially from Rajasthan, you’ll often hear two names: Senna Leaves and Cassia. But what’s the real difference between them? And why is it so important for exporters to know?

🌿 What Are Senna Leaves?
Senna (Botanical name: Senna alexandrina) is a powerful herb widely used in the international market. It's popular in:
Detox teas
Weight loss supplements
Natural laxatives
---
🌱 What is Cassia?
Cassia is a similar-looking plant but often mistaken for senna. It is:
Cheaper
Lower in medicinal value
Not preferred by serious international buyers
⚠️ If you send cassia in the name of senna, your client will not trust you again. That’s why knowing the difference is key.

🔍 How to Identify Real Senna?
Leaves are thin, yellowish-green, and curve slightly
Smell is natural and earthy (not bitter or harsh)
Comes mostly from Sojat, Sendra, Falna, Pali region
Senna Pods are long, dry, and brittle — highly demanded product
📌 Pro Tip: Always take clear photos of your product, compare with Google/YouTube, or confirm with a local expert before committing to buyers.

💥 Why Buyers Reject Cassia as Fake Senna
Cassia fails in lab tests for active sennoside content
Packaging issues and wrong HS code can lead to shipment rejection
You lose long-term deals with buyers

📍 My Own Experience (Falna Zone)
I once received a sample from a farmer that looked exactly like senna, but later I realised it was a type of cassia. Since then, I educate my farmers and double-check with sources near Sojat and Rani region before accepting.
