Description: Frangula purshianus is the botanical name for Cascara which is also commonly known as “Cascara sagrada” or “sacred bark”. The dried bark of Cascara has been used traditionally throughout Western Herbal Medicine and North American Herbal Medicine as a stimulant laxative which relieves constipation.

Caruso’s Cascara contains a herbal extract of dried Cascara bark which has been standardised to its active constituent, Cascaroside A.
