Much of the early writings on buckthorn do not clearly distinguish between diff erent species and probably also refer to common buckthorn and English buckthorn. All the buckthorns share similar laxative actions on digestion to varying degrees of potency. The name alder buckthorn refers to the habit of the plant to grow alongside alder trees. The dried bark was stored for some time to render it less violent in its cathartic action and thus the fresh bark was avoided. The berries were made into lozenges and sold as an aperient. Country people boiled the bark in ale to help with liver conditions such as jaundice. The leaves are well favoured by goats, the flowers popular with bees and the berries enjoyed by birds. The charcoal from the wood is highly regarded for its use in gunpowder due to its even burn rate.
