Cascara Sagrada or Frangula Purshiana is a shrub that originated in North America and belongs to the Rhamnaceae family. The plant is found in the South American regions, Kenya, Canada, and North America. Processing sunscreens and adding flavour to food items are some of its applications. The dried bark was largely used in folk medicine due to its strong laxative and antimicrobial effects. It is helpful in improving digestive health and relieving stomach pain.
