Scientific Information
Cascara sagrada, scientifically known as Rhamnus purshiana, is a deciduous tree native to North America. It has a long history of traditional use as a natural laxative. The bark of the cascara sagrada tree contains active compounds called anthraquinone glycosides, specifically cascarosides A, B, C, and D, which are responsible for its laxative effects. These compounds stimulate the muscles of the colon, promoting bowel movements and relieving occasional constipation.
