The story behind BP
The Europeans brought red clover to America centuries ago, and it was quickly adopted by native residents who used it for respiratory system complaints, blood purification and as a support for aging women. Red clover is actually related to peanuts and beans!
Also called alder dogwood and arrow wood, buckthorn bark is a powerful herb celebrated for its ability to help loosen the bowels. This plant grows in Europe and North America.
Ever since it was introduced to Spanish settlers in the 1600s, cascara sagrada bark has been used as a natural laxative throughout the world. By the late 1800s, cascara was being exported overseas. Its popularity led to overharvesting in the 1900s, but cascara has made a healthy resurgence.
