Alder Buckthorn

Frangula alnus

Scientific Summary

Alder buckthorn (Frangula alnus) is a small tree whose bark, leaves, and roots are harvested for herbal use. It is primarily employed to support digestive health—relieving chronic diarrhea and soothing stomach irritation with mild laxative and astringent properties. Use cautiously, as it can induce mild gastrointestinal upset; it is not recommended for pregnant or breastfeeding women or young children without a healthcare professional’s guidance.
