This formula combines purgative herbs along with protective, gentle and soothing herbs. Together they assist elimination and soothe the digestive tract.

• Cascara Sagrada, which means ‘sacred bark’ was named by early Spanish settlers. It is a purgative laxative, while also working as an alterative, and stomachic.
• Buckthorn comes from the same family as Cascara, and so has similar properties. Traditionally, Buckthorn was considered a purgative, laxative, diuretic and bitter tonic.
• Ginger’s actions include carminative, anti-spasmodic and anti-inflammatory. It is commonly used to relieve nausea associated with motion sickness.
• Liquorice is an expectorant, demulcent, anti-spasmodic and anti-inflammatory. It also exhibits mild laxative properties.
• Oregon Grape has historically been used as a diuretic, mild bitter tonic and gentle laxative.
• Red Clover has traditionally been used in Eastern and Western cultures as a diuretic, sedative and anti-tussive. Folklore indicates that it has a slight laxative effect.
• Couch Grass has a high mucilage content that gives it demulcent properties. It is often used to support urinary flow.
• Turkey Rhubarb is traditionally known as a purgative due to its strong laxative effects. It is also reputed to be a bitter herb to assist the release of bile.
• Capsicum has traditionally been used to assist circulation to the periphery, as a stomachic and a tonic. It is a popular herb in many cultures that can assist digestion by aiding gastric juice production.
