cascara sagrada bark

Cascara sagrada comes from a species of buckthorn that is distributed throughout the American Pacific Northwest and British Columbia. Native Americans of the region, who called the herb sacred bark, prepared the aged bark as a tea to ease constipation. By the mid-19th century, a pharmaceutical company began producing cascara-based agents for export to Europe.

Today, cascara sagrada is primarily valued for its role in traditional herbal systems and for its significance as a classic botanical ingredient. As with many traditional herbs, it is best approached with care and used in accordance with applicable guidelines and professional advice.
