Cassia absus, also known as chakshu or chasku, is a plant species in the Fabaceae family that is native to India and other parts of Asia. The plant is also known by other common names such as sickle senna, stinking weed, and Jumbai. Chasku seeds, which are derived from the Cassia absus plant, are small, dark brown seeds that have a long history of use in traditional medicine. These seeds are used in Ayurvedic medicine to treat a variety of ailments, including fever, inflammation, and digestive disorders. Chasku seeds contain a number of bioactive compounds, including alkaloids, flavonoids, and saponins, that are believed to be responsible for their medicinal properties.
