How the five effective herbs in Easy-Lax work for you

Psyllium seed powder is the finest source of soluble fibre. Weight for weight it is 14 times higher than oat bran. It swells in water and stimulates movement of stools. At the same time it lubricates and soothes the mucous membranes of the digestive tract.

It is beneficial for disorders of the digestive system, including stomach ulcers, diarrhoea, and constipation. It has also been found to lower blood cholesterol levels.

 Cascara sagrada powder stimulates the large intestine and produces a gentle laxative response in moderate doses. Because of its mild action it is the world’s most popular herbal laxative.

It is beneficial for the liver, pancreas and lower bowel system. It can also restore natural tone to the colon.

Cascara also helps detoxify the body and remove excess levels of uric acid and is used to treat kidney stones and gout. It is also known to kill harmful microbes in the stomach and parasites in the intestines.

Long term use of Cascara has been known to deplete body potassium reserves if fruit and vegetables are lacking in the diet. So ensure an adequate amount of fruit and vegetables in your diet when taking Easy-Lax for longer than two weeks at a time. If soft bowel movements are not achieved, please seek advice from your Health Professional.

Slippery Elm soothes the whole digestive tract by coating the lining. It can also relieve stomach rumbling, inflammatory or irritable bowel and excessive wind during times of stress.

Wormwood stimulates and invigorates the whole of the digestive process and promotes production of bile and good cholesterol. It has been used since ancient times to prevent, treat and expel intestinal worms.

Fennel seed powder can give quick relief from many digestive disorders, including cramps, wind, acid reflux and indigestion. This mineral-rich herb also reduces hunger and can stimulate weight loss. (Folklore also maintains that Fennel sharpens vision, increases intelligence and purifies the body.)
