                                Despite some sources suggesting edibility, most parts of the candle bush, scientifically known as *Senna alata*, are considered toxic if ingested in large quantities. While it is widely used in traditional medicine for its antifungal and laxative properties, internal consumption is generally not advised without proper preparation and dosage control due to its purgative effects.
