Buckthorn Bark - 2 ounce package Also Known As - Rhamnum frangula Wild Crafted - USA Overview - The bark of this 18 to 25 foot tree has been used in it's native Europe, Western & Northern Asia & naturalized parts of the eastern United States as a die for fabrics as well it's effects on peristalsis. in all cases of it's use internally it has been used as a dried bark as it has purgative properties if used fresh. The seeds contained in a dark colored berry about ¼ inch in diameter are eaten by birds & it is thought that the purgative properties of the berry assist in the dispersal of the seed to aid in propagation; an example of a possible adaptation the plant has made to insure it's longevity as a species. The berries have been used historically a bit more than the bark of this species, though the preference among herbalists in North America is to use the aged, dried bark.
