Cassia fistula Supplements & Products

Native to South Asia, the Cassia Fistula Tree boasts a long, ancient history of medicinal purposes. The fruit, leaves and bark of this plant may aid those in dealing with common colds, fevers, fungal infections and stomach disorders. Most often, however, this herb is used to treat constipation. While considered by many health providers to be an option for children, medical experts strongly warn that Cassia Fistula products should always be taken in small quantities. While the tree has various nicknames, it is most often referred to as the "golden shower tree" due to the flowing clumps of yellow-like ornamental petals produced when it thrives.
