Cascara Sagrada 1 oz

Frangula purshiana

This herbal remedy was once a prevalent component in over-the-counter laxatives. It is derived from the bark of the California buckthorn tree which is indigenous to the West Coast of the United States & regions of South America. Historically, Native Americans used it to release various concerns such as constipation & digestive issues as well as joint & muscle pain.

Talk to your doctor before using cascara sagrada. Your doctor can rule out other health issues and tell you if it’s a safe treatment option for your situation. They’ll probably recommend an alternative treatment. Pregnant women and children 12 and under should avoid laxatives due to the potential side effects unless it’s prescribed by a doctor. 

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

This laxative may also interact with other medications.
