WHAT DOES CASCARA BUCKTHORN MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Rhamnus purshiana

Rhamnus purshiana is a species of buckthorn native to western North America from southern British Columbia south to central California, and eastward to northwestern Montana. The dried bark of cascara has been used for centuries as an herbal laxative – first by Native Americans in the Pacific Northwest, and then later by European/U.S. colonizers. The chemicals primarily responsible for the laxative action are the hydroxyanthracene glycosides, and emodin. These act as stimulant laxatives, with the hydroanthracene glycosides stimulating peristalsis, and emodin exciting smooth muscle cells in the large intestine.
