Cascara Sagrada

Cascara Sagrada is a distinctive botanical ingredient with a long history in traditional herbal practices. Derived from the bark of the cascara buckthorn tree, it has a notably bitter flavor and has historically been used in preparations intended to stimulate bowel movements. Its traditional background makes it a botanical of interest for those learning about the varied uses of plants throughout herbal history.

We offer cascara sagrada for those interested in exploring traditional botanical ingredients and their historical applications. However, this herb contains stimulant laxative compounds and is not suitable for casual or long-term use. It may cause abdominal cramps, diarrhea, dehydration, and electrolyte imbalances, and prolonged use can lead to serious complications. It should not be used by children, during pregnancy or breastfeeding, or by people with certain intestinal conditions unless specifically advised by a healthcare professional. Consult a qualified healthcare professional before use, and do not use it as a daily wellness tea.
