Cascara sagrada (Rhamnus purshiana) is a shrub native to western North America. Its bark is processed for medicinal benefits. Cascara sagrada contains organic plant compounds called anthraquinones which have powerful laxative effects
The anthraquinones in the bark slow down water absorption and electrolytes in the intestines. Because of this, stool volume increases as it absorbs the excess water, which increases pressure within the intestine. This stimulates muscle contractions in the colon (peristalsis), speeding the clearance of the bowel.
