Cascara Sagrada (Rhamnus purshiana)
 |
The bark is used as a stimulant laxative, especially in cases
of chronic constipation. The name "sagrada" refers to "sacred bark"—a name given to it by early Spanish explorers in the Pacific Northwest. As an approved, safe and effective laxative, cascara and cascara extracts are found in numerous over-the counter laxative preparations in the U.S. |
