According to most legends, several Native American tribes of the Pacific Northwest (from California to British Colombia) first harnessed the power of this remarkable herb for medicinal use. Native American tribes shared their herbal knowledge of this plant with early Spanish priests in Northern California (in Mendocino, California) where its nicknames sacred bark and holy bark emerged. Spanish priests, impressed with the rapid action of cascara sagrada, soon spread this knowledge to others. By the 1890s Cascara Sagrada was listed in the U.S. Pharmacopoeia and commonly purchased from pharmacies across the nation for one of Americas most common ailments (constipation).
