Cascara sagrada is considered one of the safest laxatives that can be used to tone the colon. It is also valued for its usefulness in detoxification and colon cleansing, and has been used in cleansing programs prior to surgery or bowel exam. Studies have shown that cascara sagrada is especially gentle and effective in easing chronic constipation in elderly people. Combined with conventional measures to soften the stool, such as adding plenty of fiber to the diet, as well as water and exercise, the use of cascara sagrada makes sense for the relief of occasional constipation, and it can prevent the pressure and pain associated with hemorrhoids and anal fissures. In fact, by speeding up the bowel movements, hemorrhoids may be less likely to develop.
