    Wholesale Buckthorn Bark Cut

    Rhamnus frangula (Alder buckthorn)

    Form: Cut

    Product description

    Buckthorn (Rhamnus catharicus) is a shrub native to the north of Europe and North America. Its bark has been used to treat a variety of ailments for hundreds of years, albeit once thoroughly dried (fresh bark can cause vomiting). Buckthorn bark continues to be widely used and is believed to offer a number of notable health benefits. If you’d like to enquire about placing an order for Wholesale Buckthorn Bark cut, please complete the form below.

    How is it used?

    Buckthorn bark is rich in flavonoids, glycosides, lipids and tannins, all of which explain its continued use in herbal medicine. Primarily, buckthorn bark is used as a laxative. It’s thought that these ingredients help stimulate the production of fluid in the colon and support the healthy function of the intestines, thus encouraging healthy bowel movements.

    As a result, buckthorn bark is often compared to cascara bark, which is thought to be similarly effective at treating constipation.
