- Cleanses Intestinal Tract
- Supports A Clean Colon
Cascara Sagrada is Spanish for “sacred bark” and is a herb that has been used for centuries by North Americans as a herbal laxative to relieve occasional constipation. The herb acts by stimulating the colon muscles, making them contract for stool evacuation. In most people, Cascara Sagrada produces a bowel movement in 6 to 12 hours. Hence, the best time to take Cascara Sagrada supplement is at bedtime so that one can expect the bowel movement in the next morning.
While Cascara Sagrada is a mild and effective herbal remedy for constipation, it should not be used for more than a week or two at a time without a break to avoid any over dependence on Cascara Sagrada for bowel movements.
