Description

Cascara Sagrada Bark, Organic, 1oz. bag
Rhamnus purshiana

This aged bark is a mild laxative that affects the colon, spleen, stomach, and liver. The bitterness stimulates the digestive secretions of the gastrointestinal system including the liver, gallbladder, stomach, and pancreas. It is considered one of the safest tonic-laxative herbs and can be used on a daily basis for chronic constipation if necessary. It is also useful for colitis, hemorrhoids, liver failure, and jaundice.

Suggested Use: Combine 1 to 2 grams (approximately 1 teaspoon) of the cut-and-sifted bark with 5 to 6 ounces of boiling water. Let it steep for 5 to 10 minutes, then strain. The tea is taken once per day, strictly at bedtime. NOTICE: This product contains Cascara Sagrada Bark (Rhamnus purshiana). Read and follow directions carefully. Do not use if you have or develop diarrhea, loose stools, or abdominal pain because Cascara Sagrada Bark may worsen these conditions and be harmful to your health.
