Cascara Sagrada – The Cure for Constipation

Buckthorn Pursha has long been known in Central and North America. Its bark was boiled and used as a laxative and an anti-inflammatory agent.

Cascara Sagrada is a natural product based on Buckthorn Pursha. It works as a laxative and regulates the muscle tone of the intestine, primarily the colon, stimulating secretion throughout the entire digestive system and the peristalsis.

Main Components

Buckthorn Pursha gently cleanses the intestine in acute and chronic atonic and spastic constipation. It can be used to treat hemorrhoids and fissures in the rectum as it makes the stool soft so that it helps the mucous membrane heal rather than irritating it.

The laxative effect of Pursha manifests about 8-10 hours after you take it, so it’s best to take it before you go to sleep. The long latent period is explained by the fact that the ingredients contained in Pursha remain inactive immediately after a meal. It’s only when they get to the large intestine that they break down into emodin and acid that increase the tone of the peristalsis of the large intestine helping to move along the stool. They also slow down the process of liquid absorption in the large intestine which increases the amount of solid waste while simultaneously liquefying it, which adds to the laxative effect.

The tannins found in buckthorn also reduce inflammation in the mucous membranes and kill off bacteria. When they come into contact with the mucous membranes of the intestines they anesthetize them and create a protective layer that prevents the spread of inflammation.

Essential oils disinfect, anesthetize, and tone up the intestine. They neutralize a large number of microbes and bacteria, preventing fermentation and putrefaction in the intestine. Polyphenols found in essential oils also remove bile, increasing the secretion and anti-toxic function of the liver, normalizing bile production and increasing the amount of cholesterol and toxins that get purged with the bile.
