Cascara (Cascara Sagrada)

Nature's most effective herbal laxative — gentle colon cleanse and digestive reset.

Cascara Sagrada (Rhamnus purshiana), meaning “sacred bark” in Spanish, has been used by Native American communities for centuries as a powerful yet gentle laxative and colon tonic. Its active compounds (anthraquinones) stimulate the colon muscles to promote healthy, regular bowel movements without cramping.

Key Benefits
Constipation relief & regularity · Colon cleanse & detox · Digestive reset · Liver & gallbladder support · Gut motility improvement

How to Use
Steep 1 tsp dried cascara bark in 250ml hot water for 10–15 mins. Drink 1 cup in the evening before bed. Bitter taste — blend with ginger, liquorice root, or honey to improve palatability. Start with a small amount to assess tolerance.
