History: Buckthorn is a small berry baring shrub native to Europe. Historically, the plant’s bitter tasting berries were used as a laxative, while the leaves were used to stop bleeding. 


Modern Use: The Commission E approved the internal use of buckthorn bark for constipation. Other conditions for use include conditions in which soft feces are desirable (hemorrhoids and post rectal-anal operations)
