The Best
Herbal Constipation Home Remedy
|
|
Cascara
Sagrada, one of the most used constipation home remedy,
comes from the bark of the buckthorn tree. It stimulates
your colon to produce stronger contraction than normal.
It can work on the most difficult cases of constipation.
It is one of the
best herbs with a strong laxative effect. It will be found
in many herbal combinations that are mixed for constipation.
Cascara has Chrysophanic acid, which stimulates your colon
wall to produce peristaltic action. Cascara also contains
a chemical called emodin which controls the strong action
of Chrysophonic acid thus producing a balanced laxative
effect.
If you use cascara
in a herbal mixture, do not use this
|
mixture for more than thirty
days. Then take a rest from it. Do not use Cascara in large
amounts and for long periods since it can cause intestinal distress
and become habit-forming.
Cascara
Sagrada also stimulates secretions from the liver, gallbladder,
pancreas, and stomach. These secretions give Cascara additional
laxative effects and this is what makes it an effective
constipation home remedy.
Do not use Cascara
Sagrada if you have irritable bowel syndrome, hemorrhoids,
or ulcers. Use Cascara for a limited time. It can become
habit-forming and, if used for an extended time, it can
increase the risk of colon cancer. Its use also causes you
to lose potassium with each bowel movement.
If you have liver problems
do not use cascara sagrada full strength. Use it in combination
with other herbs. Cascara is known to put a strain on the
liver.
You can take Cascara
as a single herb. As a single herb it is a strong constipation
home remedy, since it can cause cramping and nausea. However,
I recommend you used it with other herbs. In a herbal combination,
the combination can detoxify your colon, tonify your colon
walls, cleanse the blood and produce other synergistic actions.

In Michael
Murray , N.D., book called The Pill Book Guide to
Natural Medicines, he talks about the drug interaction of
cascara sagrada,
“Cascara
and other stimulant laxatives may decrease absorption of other
drugs that pass through the gastrointestinal tract. If you
are currently taking an oral medication, talk to your pharmacist
or doctor before self-medicating with cascara.
Cascara
may potentiate the action of digoxin and other heart medications
due to potassium depletion. The use of cascara with thiazide
diuretics and corticosteroids may further decrease potassium
levels .”
Recommend
dose for the cascara, as a single herb, is 350 – 1000mg just
before bedtime.
Use 1-4
cascara powder capsules a night, but do not use these capsules
for more than 10 days. Start with 1 capsule a night and increase
the amount each day until you get results you want.
Cascara
is a great constipation home remedy and can be used as a laxative
tea, by using one teaspoon of cascara bark in 3 cups of boiling
water for 30 minutes. Drink 1-2 cups of tea just before bedtime
after it has cooled to room temperature.
