Digestive Support #2

About this formula

Get there with confidence.

This formula provides herbal support for stress-induced diarrhea, tenesmus (sense of incomplete bowel movements), IBS, fatigue, and a lack of appetite due to the sense that your tummy is always full.

Other functions of this formula can apply to certain abdominal complaints that arise from the menstruation such as bloating, gas, gastrointestinal upset and even breast tenderness.

It can also have a positive effect on the moodiness and cramps of PMS, though that is sort of a secondary effect. The primary focus of this formula is in the digestive tract.

• Another qi moving herb that helps to regulate the hormones and nervous system.

Mu Xiang 木香 costus root, saussurea, auklandia Aucklandiae Radix
