Cascara Sagrada Tea

CASCARA SAGRADA TEA

Cascara Sagrada has several health benefits and a long history of traditional use in Native American cultures. The bark of the plant is used to address several ailments and health issues which include:

1. Use as a Natural Laxative
   • Phytochemicals known as anthraquinones are abudent within the bark of Cascara Sagrada. These phytochemicals react with bacteria in the intestines which cause muscle contractions allowing stools to move through the bowels more smoothly.
2. Acts as an Anti-Fungal/Anti-parasitic/Anti-microbial
   
   • Cascara Sagrada is rich in a compund known as emodin which is known to be both anti-fungal and anti-micobial. Traditionally, Cascara Sagrada has been used to expel parasites and has also been effective against bad bacteria such as E coli.
3. Promotes Liver Health 
   • In a study with rats, it was found that the emodin in Cascara Sagrada helped to protect against induced liver damage.
4. Promotes Digestive Health 
   • As a bitter herb, Cascara Sagrada causes a "bitter reflex" in the body which helps to release the digestive hormone gastrin. This assists with appetite simulation, aids with liver detoxification, and increases the flow of bile, among other things.
