Cascara Sagrada is primarily used to treat constipation and weight loss.
 
The anthraquinones contained in the bark stimulate peristalsis by inhibiting the absorption of water and electrolytes in the intestines.
 
Doing so increases the volume of stools as they absorb the excess water, and also helps one to obtain a mind and gut connection, in other words enhances intelligence and gets rid of mental fog.
 
Other benefits include:
Digestive problems
Joint and muscle pain
Gonorrhea
Gallstones
Dysentery
 
Do not use if you have chronic intestinal problems, such as Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, sprue,irritable bowel syndrome, or pregnant.
 
Note: Consult with healthcare professional before use.
