About this herb
Buckthorn Bark.
Buckthorn is a deciduous tree that grows up to 20 feet tall. The bark is green when the tree is young, but turns gray as it ages. Flowers are green and white and bloom between May and July. Berries of Buckthorn are black when mature. It is considered an invasive species, especially in the eastern and central regions of the United States. So much that, the sale or import of the seedlings of this species is specifically prohibited in Minnesota and Illinois.
Buckthorn bark is harvested in summer and is then aged or heat-treated before it's ready for consumption. This process breaks down the anthrone chemicals in the bark and its action from strongly purgative to laxative.
Although Buckthorn bark can be prepared as tea, it is more commonly tinctured or encapsulated due to its bitter taste.
Folklore: Buckthorn was used by the ancient Greeks for protection from demons, poisons, and witches.
