    Dried Frangula Bark / Buckthorn (Rhamnus Frangula) is a mild to moderate laxative that produces better bowel movements without causing irritation. Traditionally, frangula bark was used with other herbs in many conditions that required the removal of toxins, such as parasitic infestation and skin conditions.

    • This product is grown in an organic and regenerative fashion with as minimal use of insecticides, pesticides, herbicides and fungicides as possible, in certified organic fertilizer. The product is certified food grade. It is not certified organic. Suitable for Kosher, Halaal and Hindi diets.

      USES & BENEFITS (INTERNAL)

      • The anthraquinone glycoside and tannin content of the dried bark ensures that it produces better bowel
      • The dried bark can actually calm an irritated gut, as well as encouraging it to move regularly
      • Conditions such as gallstones and worms may benefit from efficiently moving bowels.
      • Frangula tends to soften faecal matter, thus making bowel movements easier and improving haemorrhoids (piles)
