having similar properties; however, its action is gentle like Turkey
Rhubarb root. Buckthorn has a stimulating effect on the gastrointestinal
tract without being habit forming. When hot it causes profuse perspiration.

itching, parasites, lead poisoning, rheumatism, skin diseases, and warts

and potassium; small amounts of sodium and chlorine; trace amounts of
magnesium, iron, manganese, copper and zinc.
