Used as an infusion, decoction, extract and tincture. The 1997 Commission E on Phytotherapy and Herbal Substances of theGerman Federal Institute for Drugs recommends Cascara Sagrada for 'Constipation.' 'Contraindications: Intestinal obstruction, acute intestinal inflammation... Children under 12 years of age, pregnancy. Side Effects: In single incidents, cramp-like discomforts of the gastrointestinal tract. These cases require a dosage reduction.' 'Special Caution for Use: Stimulating laxatives must not be used over an extended period of time (1 - 2 weeks) without medical advice. The preparation should be used only if no effects can be obtained through change of diet or use of bulk-forming products.' 'Dosage: Cut bark, powder or dry extracts for teas, decoction, cold maceration or elixir. Liquid or solid forms of medication exclusively for oral use. 20 - 30 mg hydroxyanthracene derivatives daily, calculated as cascaroside A. The individually correct dosage is the smallest dosage necessary to maintain a soft stool.' 'The fresh bark contains free anthrone and must be stored for one year or artificially aged by heat and aeration. The use of illegally processed cascara sagrada bark, e.g., fresh bark, will cause severe vomiting, possibly spasms.' Cascara bark is high in unique 'cascarosides,' as well as resins, tannins, and lipids. Cascarosides have a cathartic action, inducing the large intestine to increase its muscular contraction.

'It acts also as a stomachic tonic and bitter, in small doses, promoting gastric digestion and appetite.' King's 1898 Dispensatory: 'Cascara sagrada, when introduced as a medicine, was highly recommended as a certain remedy in cases of habitual constipation, and in some forms of indigestion. Further trial has substantially sustained these assertions, and it is, undoubtedly, a valuable addition to our list of therapeutical agents.' 'It does not, however, succeed in all cases, but acts best where a tonic to the intestines is required. As it tones the whole intestinal tract, it is valuable in doses of 10 drops, after meals, for that dyspeptic condition which depends most largely upon constipation, and is due to intestinal weakness.' 'Administered in large doses, it has served us nicely in sick headache, due to like causes. Loss of tone in the rectum, with constipation, giving rise to hemorrhoids, is benefited by it.' 'In chronic constipation it may be necessary to begin with the larger doses, and gradually reduce the quantity to a few drops, 3 times a d
