Buckthorn Bark

Buckthorn Bark (Rhamnus cathartica) has strong purgative and laxative properties that help relieve constipation. Buckthorn contains compounds called anthraquinones that help stimulate intestinal contractions, increase fluid secretion in the intestines, and promote larger volume and softer stools. Because Buckthorn is an effective stool softener, it can make bowel movements more comfortable for people with hemorrhoids. Buckthorn has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties that help maintain a healthy digestive tract. Buckthorn helps promote optimal bile production which contributes to the optimal functioning of the liver and gallbladder.
