Cascara Sagrada Bark | Gentle Digestive Cleanse & Bowel Support
The Remedy:
Cascara Sagrada (Rhamnus purshiana)—also known as Sacred Bark, Chittam Bark, and in Spanish Cáscara Sagrada—is a traditional North American herb used to support gentle cleansing, bowel regularity, and digestive relief. Rich in anthraquinone compounds that naturally stimulate peristalsis, cascara sagrada encourages smooth, comfortable elimination without harsh cramping.
Commonly used to ease constipation, sluggish digestion, bloating, fullness, and irregular bowel movements, cascara also supports long-term digestive wellness by toning the intestinal muscles and improving natural rhythm.
Enjoyed as a capsule, tincture, tea, or cleansing blend, cascara sagrada provides effective, gentle support for bowel health and digestive balance.
