Active Ingredients and Benefits
Cascara Sagrada: Cascara
Sagrada is considered a very mild and effective natural, herbal laxative. It
does not cause any dependency so when discontinued the positive effects
derived from its use will remain, without the need to continue usage to get
the same results. It is derived from bark and is native to the North
American continent. It readily grows in the region from British Columbia to
Washington state. The bark is collected in early spring and summer, when it
is easily peeled from the wood. It is then dried in the shade and aged for
at least a year before it is processed for medicinal use.
Cascara Sagrada facilitates evacuation and normal stool function while
conditioning the muscles in the intestinal tract. It promotes proper hormone
levels controlled by the pituitary and also has a positive effect on the
gallbladder, liver and the pancreas.
Many pharmaceutical laxatives are habit forming, Cascara Sagrada is not, and
for that reason alone it is preferred over synthetic over the counter
medications that can only irritate and worsen IBS related symptoms. Because
it also strengthens and tones the bowels it helps restore normal function,
which is not lost when usage is discontinued.
Turkey Rhubarb: Turkey Rhubarb
has powerful properties as an intestinal cleanser. This herb considerably
reduces constipation and small dosages have been safely used for hundreds of
years to assist in digestion. Turkey Rhubarb cleans the colon and intestinal
lymph system, removing accumulated waste and decaying fecal matter as well
as congested mucous. When lymph congestion is resolved patients experience
better circulation in their legs and reduced bloating due to water
retention. It then automatically helps to reduce cellulite formation,
varicose veins and any other problems caused by poor leg circulation.
Turkey Rhubarb improves your own body’s ability to eliminate toxins. Over
80% of the toxins in your body come through the intestinal tract, if you are
not able to remove them properly they build up and can cause a multitude of
problems, some of which can be symptoms associated with IBS, such as
bloating, gas, constipation and cramps.
Bentonite Clay: Bentonite is a clay that can safely be
ingested. It absorbs water to form a gel and thereby works as a mild
laxative and regulatory agent. The absorbing water bentonite essentially
‘traps’ toxins into the gel it forms and helps to carry them out of your
body without giving the body the chance to absorb these potentially harmful
substances. When using bentonite it is advised to try and ingest more fluids
to compensate for some of the water that is absorbed by this ingredient.
Slippery Elm (Ulmus rubra): Slippery Elm is considered a
digestive soother and detoxifier. It calms irritated mucus membranes, the
stomach and intestines. Slippery elm coats inflamed surfaces and soothes
irritated tissues, helping to protect them from injury and drawing out
irritants and toxic substances. It has also shown to soothe inflammation by
stimulating nerve endings in the stomach and intestines which in turn,
results in the secretion of mucosal fluids. Slippery elm absorbs toxins from
the bowels and thereby balances the intestinal flora while reducing
constipation.
Aloes: Aloe has been known to contain healing properties for
thousands of years, even the ancient Egyptians used it frequently and called
it “the plant of immortality”. Aloe originally was native to the African
continent. It found it’s way to North America and can now be found growing
‘natively’ in warm climates including the desert southwest of the U.S. and
Mexico. It has been used for medicinal purposes to treat a great variety of
problems; most commonly skin related disorders or wounds. However Aloe also
relieves IBS and reduces diarrhea. Aloe also naturally increases your energy
levels.
Flax Seeds: Flax seeds are known to promote good health; aside
from it being good for your heart it also promotes a healthy digestive
system. Flax seeds also control and relieve constipation.
Senna: Senna contains compounds called hydroxyanthracene
glycosides, which are also known as sennosides. These stimulate the colon by
increasing smooth muscle contractions and thereby aid in the regulation of
your bowels, as such they have a laxative effect. Senna also stimulates more
fluid secretion by the colon which softens the stool and thereby facilitates
its passage, which in turn allows you to become more regular.
Wormseed: Wormseed detoxifies the intestinal tract and kills
any parasites that are present without eliminating the bacterial flora that
is actually beneficial to your digestion
It also helps in the regulation of bowel movements, effectively preventing
both constipation and diarrhea.
Black Seeds: Black seeds contain a high concentration of
dietary fiber and have been widely used in the treatment of IBS. It also
works with the other ingredients to remove toxins from the digestive system
and effectively regulate normal bowel movements.
Olive Leaf Extract: Olive leaf extract combats inflammation
and irritation in the intestinal tract and stomach. It has a soothing effect
and regulates bowel movements while eliminating toxins from the body. The
active ingredient contained in olive leaf extract is called oleuropein. It
is found throughout the olive tree, however is concentrated in the leafs. It
has a very strong antiviral, antifungal, antibacterial and antiparasitic
effect and thus helps to calm your IBS symptoms.
Thyme Oil Powder: Thyme oil has several potent medical
benefits, it is an antiseptic, antispasmodic, astringent, antimicrobial
agent, antiparasitic agent, and an effective antibiotic. It has a calming
and healing effect in IBS patients and relieves symptoms such as bloating
and diarrhea.
Garlic Extract 12:1: Garlic is a natural antibiotic and Garlic
Extract protects against protect against bacterial and fungal infections,
which are often prevalent in the fragile digestive system of IBS patients.
It aids in the regulation of the intestines by promoting better flora and
optimal health. Certified Organic Cloves: Certified organic cloves
eliminate parasites from the digestive system, regulate smooth muscle
function and breaks up bowel obstruction. This herb also promotes cleansing
to optimize bowel function. Peppermint (Piperita menthe): Mint plants
have a long history of medicinal use, dating to ancient Egypt, Greece, and
Rome. It is a stimulant, and helps digestive system disorders by stimulating
the production of bile, an essential digestive fluid, which helps in
soothing the lining of the digestive tract. It also relieves flatulence,
strengthens and soothes the bowels and helps with cramping. Researchers have
found that the clinical effectiveness of peppermint oil in the treatment of
Irritable Bowel Syndrome results from its relaxing properties in the
intestinal smooth muscle; causing the intestines to contract less and
therefore lessen symptoms by promoting normal instead of hyperactive muscle
contractions. The pharmacological effects of peppermint and peppermint oil
are useful in a number of clinical situation; the most notable include
irritable bowel syndrome, intestinal colic, gallstones, musculoskeletal
pain, and the common cold. It is an anti-diarrheal agent, a vermifuge (a
substance that works well against worms) working especially well against
hookworms. |
