Organic Cascara Sagrada

Cascara Sagrada:

The bark comes from a tree called the California buckthorn. This tree grows on the West Coast of the United States and parts of South America. Historically, it was used by Native Americans to heal a host of issues, including:

• constipation
• digestive problems
• joint and muscle pain
• gonorrhea
• gallstones
• dysentery

How cascara sagrada helps constipation

Cascara sagrada is a stimulant laxative. It works by causing muscle contractions in the intestines. These muscle contractions help move stool through the bowels. The bark contains chemicals called anthraquinones that give it its color and its laxative effect. These chemicals react with bacteria in the intestines to stimulate the bowels.

You should never use cascara sagrada for:

• inflammatory bowel diseases, such as ulcerative colitis or Crohn’s disease
• intestinal blockages
• stomach pain with an unknown cause
• kidney disease
• appendicitis

* A proper nutritional diet is essential in achieving optimal results.
