Description
Ancient Remedy for Constipation:
- Native American Origins: Cascara Sagrada, used for centuries by indigenous tribes on the West Coast, boasts a rich history as a natural laxative.
- Gentle Relief: The bark of cascara sagrada contains anthraquinones, compounds known to stimulate colon contractions, promoting bowel movement.
- Natural Alternative: Similar to aloe vera, senna, and rhubarb root, cascara sagrada offers a natural approach to constipation relief.
How Cascara Sagrada Works:
- Key Components: Anthraquinones, found in cascara sagrada’s bark, influence the intestinal tract, particularly the colon.
- Electrolyte and Water Balance: Anthraquinones may impact the flow of electrolytes and water within the colon.
- Stimulating Contractions: This altered balance can cause swelling of bowel contents, triggering colonic muscle contractions (peristalsis) and promoting gentle elimination.
