Process: dry Cascara Sagrad Tree Bark.

Other Names: Sacred Bark.
Origin: USA
Cascara Sagrada is a member of the Buckthorn family that is distributed throughout the American Pacific Northwest and British Columbia. The bark of the tree is harvested for traditional herbal supplements. Cascara bark is brewed as a very bitter tea or mixed with other flowers or fruit to chaste the bitter taste. Native Americans called the herb sacred bark and prepared the aged bark as a tea. By the mid-19th century, the pharmaceutical company Parke-Davis began producing Cascara-based products for export to Europe.
Our Cascara Sagrada bark is stripped in spring and aged for a year before processing. The bark must be aged for 12 months to allow the hydroxyanthraquinone glycosides chrysophanol, emodin, and aloe-emodin, to break down, as otherwise, these compounds would produce strong purgative effects, including intestinal cramping and vomiting. In the body, these agents are further degraded via enzymatic activity into anthrones, which are responsible for reducing transit time in the colon.
USE: Cascara Sagrada bark is bulk-forming, therefore, it must be taken with a lot of water. Boil a small amount in a large pot of water as tea, it can also be used with other herbs, flower or fruit to reduce the bitter flavor.
CAUTION: Pregnant or nursing women should not use Cascara Sagrada bark herb as its effects can transfer to the child. This herb is not recommended for those with chronic diarrhea, irritable bowel syndrome, or ulcers. Cascara Sagrada and Senna commonly cause yellow-brown urine, the presence of which is harmless. Unless prescribed by a health provider, children under the age of 12 should not use this herb.

They just wasn’t enough direct and honest communication between the sellers page and the seller in the Messages in regards to shipping and customer service. The herbs are not the issue, the seller needs to update their page and put the honest shipping time frames and not have people waiting unnecessarily long.
