Corteza de una planta leñosa, de la familia de las Ramnáceas, que vive en América Septentrional. Se utiliza en medicina por sus propiedades tónicas y laxantes. 3, record 2, Spanish, - c%C3%A1scara%20sagrada
Record number: 2, Textual support number: 1 CONT
La cáscara se obtiene de la corteza seca del Rhamnus purshianus [también] se le llama corteza sagrada quizás porque este arbusto maderero se ha utilizado para aliviar a las personas con estreñimiento. [...] La corteza de la cáscara sagrada se añeja durante un año de tal manera que los principios activos se suavicen, ya que cuando está fresca, la corteza seca produce un efecto laxante demasiado fuerte que no se considera seguro. La cáscara produce actividad purgante, tóxica, terapéutica y tónica. 2, record 2, Spanish, - c%C3%A1scara%20sagrada
