Marshmallow root (Althaea officinale): is a soothing herb for the lining of the intestines and the bladder. It works demulcent which means it relieves inflammation and irritation, especially to the mucous membranes.

Marshmallows also clear phlegm from your airways, therefore it’s great for cough & bronchitis. Use for dyspepsia, inflammation of the stomach, GORD, Peptic ulcer, IBS, Constipation and bladder infection.

Fennel seeds (Foeniculum vulgare): have antispasmodic and relaxing effects on the digestive system. Digestive dysfunction, flatulence and colic can be helped with fennel. They have expectorant actions to support a cough and bronchitis.

Even lactation support and Oestrogen modulation are benefits of fennel.

Meadowsweet (Filipendula ulmaria): This herb contains salicylic acid and has anti-inflammatory action. Its salicylic acid fights inflammation and can help reduce pain and swelling (myalgia).

Meadowsweet works as an antacid, is astringent and is mucoprotective. Great herb for Diarrhoea, Dyspepsia, Gastritis, GORD, IBS and Peptic Ulcer.

Peppermint (Mentha piperita): works antispasmodic, increases sweating, helps the flow of bile from the gallbladder, relieves flatulence and can reduce nausea.

Peppermint is best to be used for digestive & gall bladder dysfunction. Think of it also for IBS and inflammation of the stomach (Gastritis), cough, common cold and influenza. Its cooling effect works well in the blend and is balanced out through other herbs in the blend

Chamomile (Matricaria recutita): Chamomile can relieve intestinal cramping and at the same time induce relaxation. It can be very good for digestive disturbances from infant colic to adult indigestion and anything in between. It is used as an anti-inflammatory to reduce heat and swelling internally.

Gentian (Gentiana lutea): Gentian has been very widely used in herbal medicine for people who have chronic health troubles where a weakened digestion is involved. It makes heavy foods easier to digest by stimulating gastric juice secretion and stomach motility and by improving the muscle tone of the stomach.

Gentian is arguably our most valuable bitter tonic. It supports digestive function around food allergies and intolerances, liver congestion and jaundice, uncontrollable sugar cravings, lack of appetite, diarrhoea, and vomiting.
