Cascara Sagrada is a powerful herb used historically as a colon cleanser, a purgative, and a remedy for constipation. It commonly produces noticeable effects overnight, hence its popularity. Cascara Sagrada has been nicknamed “the world’s favorite laxative,” although its uses for the gall bladder and liver should not be overlooked.

Cascara Sagrada is also used in holistic health practice for liver and gall bladder conditions (stimulating healthy levels of bile and gastric juices), to promote good digestion, to help tone the walls of the intestine, and is helpful for colon disorders of many types, including parasitic infestations (parasites).

The primary traditional uses of the herb cascara sagrada include:
— Constipation (including atonic constipation)
— Chronic constipation
— Irritable bowel syndrome
— Hemorrhoids
— Intestinal cleansing
— Liver problems
— Gallbladder ailments
— Hookworms
— Tapeworms
— Flukes
— Roundworms
— Pinworms
— Other fungi, protozoa, bacteria, and viruses in the intestinal tract

According to most legends, several Native American tribes of the Pacific Northwest (from California to British Colombia) first harnessed the power of this remarkable herb for medicinal use. Native American tribes shared their herbal knowledge of this plant with early Spanish priests in Northern California (in Mendocino, California) where its nicknames “sacred bark” and “holy bark” emerged. Spanish priests, impressed with the rapid action of cascara sagrada, soon spread this knowledge to others. By the 1890’s Cascara Sagrada was listed in the “U.S. Pharmacopoeia” and commonly purchased from pharmacies across the nation for one of America’s most common ailments (constipation).
