Ancient Purity Presents Cascara Sagrada. Safe and Powerfully Effective. Revered for centuries for its gentle yet effective detoxifying properties, 100% Pure Botanical Cascara Sagrada, in its only activated form... bark. Sourced from its native country the USA, explorers of the Pacific Northwest discovered native peoples using the bark as a laxative and gave it the name "Sacred Bark" in honour of its effect. Cascara was found in more drug preparations than any other natural product in the USA, and is believed to be the most widely used cathartic in the world. Ancient Purity's first interest in this Sacred Bark came from the study of Dr. Sebi’s use of it. Cascara Sagrada is a shrub native to western North America first used by the native Indians. The "Sacred Bark" herb is made from the bark of the Cascara Sagrada tree or shrub. Like high fibre plant-based foods Cascara Sagrada stimulates peristalsis, this worm-like contraction helps to push waste out of diverticula that compromise the structure of the intestinal wall and intestinal function. It's a gentle, yet powerful detox, it supports digestive health, promoting a harmonious balance within your body. The Tea is earthy and can be bitter and therefore it might be a good idea to mix it with Matcha Green Tea (Available @Ancient Purity). You could sweeten it with some Honey or Kakadu Plum Syrup. Remember it's not just a beverage; it's a moment of tranquillity and self-care in every sip. ''In the Sagrada Familia, everything is providential.''- Antoni Gaudi

The bark contains chemicals called anthraquinones that give it its colour and its laxative effect.While originating from the coffee plant, Cascara has about a quarter of the caffeine levels compared to regular brew. One study found out that Cascara tea has around 25mg of caffeine per cup (compared to 80mg of caffeine per cup of coffee), no matter how long the steeping time is.
