PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

CASCARA SAGRADA BARK HEALTH BENEFITS

RELIEVES CONSTIPATION

This herb will usually stimulate a bowel movement within six to eight hours of consumption.

Cascara Sagrada is classed as a stimulant laxative – it is rich in phytochemicals known as anthraquinones which react with bacteria in the intestines to stimulate the bowels.

It causes muscle contractions in the intestines which enables stools to move more smoothly through the bowels to trigger the onset of a bowel movement.

Anthraquinones also inhibit reabsorption of electrolytes and water from the colon, producing a softer, quicker bowel movement.

IMPROVES DIGESTIVE HEALTH
Cascara Sagrada is classed as a “bitter herb” and a tonic for the digestive system. Herbal bitters prepare the digestive system for food.

ANTI-PARASITIC / ANTI-MICROBIAL

Expels parasites, Helicobacter pylori, E coli, and several strains of Staphylococcus aureus. It has also demonstrated anti-fungal action against Candida.

DETOXIFICATION

Because Cascara Sagrada helps to cleanse the colon of damaging toxins and waste products, it is commonly used as an ingredient in many detox and cleanse herbal formulas.

Cascara Sagrada together with Psyllium husks are two of the most widely used remedies in colon cleansing programs. The combination of both Psyllium (as a bulking agent) and Cascara (as a stimulant laxative) is essential for an effective colon cleansing program.

CAUTION: IT IS IMPORTANT TO DRINK LOTS OF WATER TO STAY HYDRATED WHILST USING CASCARA SAGRADA. IT IS ONLY RECOMMENDED THAT THIS HERB IS USED FOR 1 WEEK AT A TIME, OTHERWISE IT CAN CAUSE SIDE EFFECTS SUCH AS ABDOMINAL CRAMPS AND ELECTROLYTE IMBALANCES.
