Senna Complex with Liquorice Aloe Vera Cascara and Fennel 6

Constipation makes people feel bloated and tired and can often cause joints and muscles to ache. Many people believe that visiting the toilet once or twice a week is normal. Given the role of the bowel in emptying the body of the waste products of three meals a day, such a situation is certainly not healthy. Constipation also makes infections, irritation and inflammation of the bowel lining more likely, as the tissues are exposed to waste products for longer periods of time.The Benefits of Senna Complex with LiquoriceSome people experience muscular spasms causing cramps and pain while taking laxatives due to the increased speed of waste elimination through the gut. This complex contains antispasmodics and carefully controlled active constituents to minimise the chances of discomfort. Some people come to rely on laxatives because of an ‘atonic’ bowel one which has little tone to the smooth musculature surrounding it, resulting in weakened muscular movements. By including toning herbs in this complex, this effect is reduced to a minimum.Liquorice, aloe vera, cascara and fennel are well known for their soothing and healing actions.Main uses Constipation Gut discomfort and irritation Bowel detox Regulates gut spasms Ideal for people who have poorly toned bowel musclePropertiesThe anthroquinones found in Senna, called sennosides A and B, appear not only to stimulate peristalsis movement of the bowel muscles, but speed colonic function generally and reduce the loss of water form the bowel to the body, so keeping the faeces soft.Senna also contains around 10% mucilage, which can offer a soothing quality, and tartrates, which are responsible for the retention of fluid in the gut.Liquorice acts as an anti inflammatory, stimulating the body’s natural defence to inflammation. Liquorice is soothing to mucous membranes and has good wound healing properties for lesions and ulcers.Aloe vera has anti inflammatory actions by preventing the production of inflammatory prostaglandins.
