How It Works

Aloe Vera

Aloe vera nutritionally benefits the intestinal system and is widely used for its ability to soothe and tone bowel tissues when taken internally. Aloe vera acts as an emollient and is soothing to the digestive tract and mucous membranes. Aloe vera is a nutritional storehouse, containing numerous vitamins, minerals and beneficial plant nutrients, including mucopolysaccharides that provide a host of antioxidant and immune benefits.

Senna

Senna is a natural herbal laxative that promotes soft stools and encourages intestinal contraction to maintain healthy bowel movements and ensure proper waste elimination. Senna has also been used traditionally as a blood cleanser. Senna contains active substances that act as local irritants on the lining of the bowel, increasing fluid content and stimulating intestinal movement. Senna is commonly used to clear the bowels before medical tests such as a colonoscopy.

Cinnamon

Cinnamon has been used in both Chinese and Ayurvedic medicine for more than 2,000 years. Recent clinical studies demonstrate cinnamon bark has the ability to support healthy blood glucose and insulin levels. It does this by reducing the amount of sugar your body absorbs, which means fewer carbs. Research also suggests that cinnamon has the potential to support a healthy lipid profile. Plus, cinnamon is a potent antioxidant.

Trace Minerals

Trace minerals play crucial roles in maintaining overall health and well-being. They are essential for vital bodily functions like metabolic reactions and cellular signaling. Trace minerals are also required for important enzyme functions involved in energy metabolism, oxygen transport, hormone production, neurological functions, and antioxidant protection, just to name a few.

Barberry

Barberry has been used in traditional Indian medicine known as Ayurveda for over 2,500 years. Ayurveda employs barberry root's bitter properties to help improve appetite and digestive function, relieve upset stomach, soothe loose stools and intestinal distress, support liver function, and promote overall vigor. Barberry root is a natural source of berberine, which is believed to support gastric function and intestinal transit.

Fennel

Fennel is an aromatic herb that helps soothe digestive disturbances and relax smooth muscles of the digestive and intestinal tract. Fennel is regarded as a traditional cleansing herb and is often used after eating to ease cramping, bloating and gas. A member of the carrot family and native to the Mediterranean region, fennel's feathery green leaves and white base are almost a cross between celery and carrots. Fennel seeds are commonly used to flavor Middle Eastern, Indian and Chinese dishes.

Cornsilk

Cornsilk is honored in both Chinese &Western herbology. The silky tassel inside the corn husk is used by herbalists to support, tone and soothe urinary tract tissues and promote healthy urinary function. Cornsilk soothes and relaxes the lining of the bladder and urinary tubules, which may help to reduce tissue irritation and promote healthy urinary flow. The Chinese also consider cornsilk beneficial for supporting the body's regulation of blood sugar levels. Cornsilk contains a variety of healthful nutrients, including vitamin C, vitamin K, iron, potassium, silica and antioxidants.

Ginger

Ginger has been used as both food and medicine in Asia for thousands of years. Traditionally, ginger has helped with a laundry list of complaints, including cold, fever, joint discomfort, aches, cramps, nervous system support, oral health, circulatory health, plus indigestion, gas, nausea and vomiting. Researchers have found that ginger may help settle the stomach during times of occasional nausea, motion sickness and morning sickness. Ginger also stimulates the flow of saliva, bile and gastric juices to aid digestion.

Dandelion

Dandelion supports the digestive system and is reported to have tonic effects on the liver and gallbladder. Dandelion has been used in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) for thousands of years to nourish and support the kidneys, liver and gallbladder. Dandelion contains polysaccharides that may support liver function and help detoxify the liver. Animal studies show that antioxidants found in dandelion root (including caffeic acid and luteolin) help protect the liver and may also support healthy cholesterol levels. Dandelion root also contains inulin, a prebiotic fiber that promotes gut health.

Capsicum

Capsicum, also commonly known as cayenne or chili powder, is one of the hottest spices. Known for its warming strength, capsicum stimulates digestion and enhances blood flow, thus promoting healthy circulation of the blood. In traditional herbal medicine, capsicum has been used throughout the ages for a variety of health concerns, including intestinal parasites, tissue healing, poor appetite, and sluggish digestion, to name a few. Capsicum also provides antioxidant and immune system benefits. Capsicum is added to many herbal formulas as an effective catalyst to help the body transport and use the companion ingredients.
