Cascara Sagrada 400mg - 100 Capsules
AUD$24.50
Item Description
The aged, dried bark of Cascara Sagrada is probably the most popular cathartic on earth. Traditionally used as a 'laxative' by the North American Indians and by medical doctors and herbalists alike as a solution to the problem of constipation. It is a relative of the herb buckthorn, but found to be much gentler in its action while still being effective.
The active components of Cascara that has been found to contribute to its laxative action are called anthraquinone glycosides. These phytochemicals cause a largely local effect, mainly assisting the peristaltic action of the colon, and secondarily causing some accumulation of fluid in the intestinal lumen (or inner space). It is these that contribute to this herb’s effectiveness in the relief of constipation.
Cascara Sagrada is known to assist with occasional, chronic constipation due to its ability to stimulate peristaltic action in the colon.
