Digestive Health

Digestive Reset

The aim of this programme is to tune you back into your digestive health. Poor digestive health shouldn’t be accepted as just one of those things and this programme will improve your relationship with it. You are ultimately the resource for your long term health and by implementing some dietary principles and changes as you take the herbs you will be well equipped going forwards.

To put it simply our stomach, intestines and colon work together to digest and absorb the nutrients from our food and get rid of the waste. There are of course other organs involved but essentially the body works synergistically to achieve these goals.

There are billions of bacteria, viruses and fungi in our intestines also which are collectively known as our gut biome. This biome is part of the process that breaks down our food enabling us to access its nutrients. If the biome is poor, if we are not consuming foods rich in enzymes and nutrients in the first place and importantly if we can’t remove waste from our body, then we lack energy, vitality and digestive complaints & further health issues may set in.

Research continues to make connections between the balance of so called ‘beneficial’ bacteria and ‘bad’ bacteria and our health. The holistic truth that what we eat and experience in life effects our health now appears visible under the microscope.

Many aspects of life impact our digestive health and the lining of our stomach & gut. By digestive health I generally mean the comfort and ease we feel in it. Processed foods, refined sugars, excessive caffeine & alcohol, intolerances, medications, rushing our meals and even the environment we eat in can cause bloating, fatigue, constipation, gas, emotional roller coasters, skin problems, brain fog, sleep issues and the list could go on. These are all signals that something isn’t right.

If we add stress into this and raised levels of cortisol we drive these complaints harder, food isn’t the only thing we process down there, we process our lives there too.

The Digestive Health Programme

This is a two or three step programme. It is designed to get you feeling comfortable and equipped with more knowledge to continue the work. Each step or option takes a month to complete.

Step 1   Begins by assisting your body to bring down inflammation in your digestive system, working wherever the symptoms are felt, with soothing herbal powders, a tonic and infusion blended specifically for you. Getting comfortable & regulating your bowel is the aim.  You may then move on to Option A, Option B or both. If you need to spend longer in Step 1 I will advise you.

Option A   Supports your liver function & bloodstream with a liver tonic, a body tonic, infusion and nutritive powder whilst bringing in foods to help restore your gut biome. Drawing powders are available for a deeper clean, if its appropriate for you you may add these in.

Option B   Addresses the potential for parasitic imbalance that improper diet or infection may have driven. You will be using a herbal prescription of anthelmintic herbs together with a body tonic, infusion and dietary principles and then bring in foods to help restore your gut biome.
