Cascara Sagrada is a natural, potent herb. It is produced from the bark of the Rhamnus Purshiana tree. It grows natively along the pacific coast of North America; from southern British Columbia to central California. The other common names of Cascara Sagrada are bitter bark, buckthorn, chitem bark, and sacred bark.
 
The leaves of Cascara Sagrada are simple, deciduous, and clustered near the end of twigs. They are shinier green from top and paler green below. They are in oval shape; around 15 cm long and 2-5 cm broad.
 

These days, it isn’t easy to locate Cascara Sagrada. Since, due to high market demand and over harvesting, their populations have reduced significantly. If you haven’t noticed them in their native land yet, look for streamside and in moist forest. You can find them in these places without any trouble.

University of Michigan Health System experts believe that Native Americans started using this herb during 15th century, especially when they introduced it as a remedy to the explorers from Spain. They used it as a laxative to treat constipation. It smoothes muscle cells in the large intestine. Even today, more than 20% national laxative market in the U.S.A depends on it. It is worth approximately $100 million each year.
 
But, modern day researchers have found a million more health benefits of Cascara Sagrada. They believe this herbal remedy can challenge many over-the-counter medicines. It has the ability to treat many issues like digestive problems, muscle and joint pains, hemorrhoids, and anxiety. Furthermore, it is quite effective against many major diseases like cancer too. Researchers have investigated its application in cancer treatment. They’ve discovered that its active constituent emodin can inhibit cancer growth through a precise mechanism.
 
Other than that, the same active constituent, emodin, is antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory. It prevents bacteria and shows promising results against inflammation too.
 
This herb is usually taken in powder or in tablet/capsule form.
