Senna-based laxatives like Kayam Tablet can cause black stool due to the breakdown of iron or bile pigments in the digestive system, which is generally harmless. However, using laxatives regularly can lead to dependence and might disrupt natural bowel function over time.
I recommend consulting with an Ayurvedic practitioner for a holistic treatment plan to address constipation without reliance on laxatives. Alternatives like Triphala, Isabgol, and lifestyle adjustments may help improve digestion and bowel movement.

Yes,Senna is safe to use daily.There can be Black stools due to various reasons,but in general there is no proven evidence or incidents that senna causes black stool. But senna tends to cause blackish discoloration of the layers of rectum in long term use and which is not harmful.
Next Steps
if you are not ok with senna based laxatives you can opt for medication which is without senna.

Black stool is often a sign of bleeding in the upper GI tract, but it can also be caused by dietary factors, medications, or less common conditions. If you experience black stool, it's crucial to seek medical advice to determine the cause and receive appropriate treatment. 🙏
