Description
Cascara Sagrada, meaning “sacred bark,” is a potent herbal laxative traditionally used to gently stimulate the bowels and support digestive regularity. Often used in detox protocols and short-term cleansing, it helps the body release built-up waste and promotes smoother elimination. Its natural compounds, known as anthraquinones, encourage peristalsis and colon function. Cascara sagrada should NOT be used fresh and MUST be aged for at least a year to break down its anthrone chemicals. If the bark is not aged, it is a purgative and will cause intense intestinal spasms and vomiting. Our bark comes aged already.
In magickal traditions, Cascara Sagrada is associated with release, renewal, and spiritual cleansing. It’s used in rituals to help let go of emotional baggage, toxic attachments, and energetic blockages. This sacred bark is often incorporated into spiritual baths or burned as part of purification rites to clear the path for transformation.
