Slippery, Soothing, Gut Healers

Those with diarrhoea, irritable bowel, colitis, painful gastritis or any of the other many and varied gut and bowel disorders which need gentle treatment. This is where herbs come in. They will line the gut and bowel and protect the delicate mucous membranes to speed up healing. Herbs that will help are marshmallow, marigold and other demulcents and tissue healers. These herbs will dually encourage positive local immune responses and cell regeneration and they ‘stick’ to the stomach/intestinal walls keeping them safe and giving them time to restore themselves. Equally, these kinds of herbs will feed and nourish, so in extreme cases, a few days on these will speed up the healing process of an acute crisis. Marshmallow root also induces ‘phagocytosis;’ a process whereby certain cells engulf bacteria and dead cells.

To this regime also avoid acidic foods like sugar, coffee, and alcohol, but also wheat dairy and other known allergens, as they can inflict more pain and delay recovery. (Use pureed foods for a while and smoothies and reduce abrasive fibre intake. It will encourage the gut to produce less stomach acid and allow healing more quickly.)

Don`t Forget to Keep your Bowel Moving

Your bowel is the largest elimination organ in your body. It is the major way that waste gets out of your body. When your bowel is not working efficiently, your faecal waste becomes stored in your colon and potentially poisons you by being absorbed back into your body if it sits around for long!

The first step in any health program is cleansing and detoxifying your bowel. A sluggish, constipated, swollen bowel can compress nearby areas, putting on pressure and causing pain inflammation, disease, or infection. A blocked colon can cause an almost endless list of symptoms and ailments from allergies, backaches and headaches to depression, insomnia and even weight gain.

Accumulated Waste

The human body is a metabolic engine. Every system, organ, and cell of the human body takes in fuel to run in order to eliminate waste material. The majority of this waste is deposited into your colon.

If this toxic waste isn’t regularly eliminated it will cause your body to be backed up with poisons, making it sluggish and unhealthy.

The Cleverness of Plants.

Plants microadapt just as much as viruses and bacteria do. For instance, one example is their unique ability to normalise and modulate immune responses in any number of old and new situations.
