In Spanish, cascara sagrada means "sacred bark" — a name given to this remarkable tree by Spanish missionaries in California who observed its widespread and deeply trusted use among Native American peoples of the Pacific Northwest. The Cascara tree (Rhamnus purshiana) grows along the western slopes of North America from California and Oregon through Washington, Idaho, Montana, and into southeastern British Columbia. For centuries, Native American nations including the Chinook, Cowlitz, and Quinault peoples used the dried bark as one of their most relied-upon traditional digestive herbs. Its use spread into mainstream American herbal practice and by 1890 it had been incorporated into the United States Pharmacopoeia. Today, Cascara Sagrada is sadly considered an endangered species — its slow growth and decades of overharvesting have made the wild Cascara tree increasingly rare. Our Wild-Crafted Cascara Sagrada is sourced responsibly from verified sustainable sources.
Cascara Sagrada's active compounds are anthraquinone glycosides — the same class of naturally occurring plant compounds found in Senna, Aloe latex, and Yellow Dock — which interact with the intestinal lining to support natural peristalsis (the muscle contractions that move material through the bowels). It is one of the most time-honored traditional digestive herbs in North American herbal practice and has been used by both Dr. John Christopher and Dr. Schulze of HerbDoc as a foundational herb in their digestive and colon cleanse formulas.

100% Wild-Crafted Cascara Sagrada Dried Bark (Rhamnus purshiana) — 510mg per capsule
The dried bark of the Cascara tree, wild-crafted from sustainable North American sources. Cascara bark must be aged for at least one year before use — fresh bark contains compounds that can cause violent purgative effects; aging converts these into the milder anthraquinone glycosides (cascarosides) that give properly prepared Cascara its gentler traditional action. Naturally contains cascarosides A, B, C, and D, emodin, aloe-emodin, chrysophanol, and naturally occurring resins and tannins.
How to Use
Recommended Dosage: Take 1 capsule (510mg) daily, or as directed by your healthcare provider. Use for a maximum of one week at a time. Do not exceed the recommended dose. Drink plenty of water when using Cascara Sagrada.
Please Note: Cascara Sagrada is intended for occasional, short-term digestive support only. It is not intended for continuous daily use. If symptoms persist beyond one week, consult your healthcare provider.
Traditional Wellness Uses
- Traditional Botanical Digestive & Bowel Wellness Support — Cascara Sagrada has been one of the most consistently used traditional botanical herbs for supporting healthy bowel function in Native American and American herbal practice for centuries. Its naturally occurring anthraquinone glycosides support the intestines' natural peristaltic movement.
- Colon Cleanse Support — A traditional component of Dr. John Christopher's and Dr. Schulze's colon and digestive cleanse protocols, valued for its gentle yet reliable action on the bowel as part of a short-term cleansing routine.
- Bitter Tonic & Digestive Wellness Support — In traditional North American herbal practice, Cascara was also valued as a bitter tonic for supporting overall digestive wellness, liver function, and bile flow — consistent with other anthraquinone-containing herbs like Yellow Dock and Dandelion Root.
