Because our survival is dependent upon our ingestion of food for physical sustenance, digestion is one of the most important functions of our living organism, along with breathing and hydration.
DIGESTION, ASSIMILATION and ELIMINATION are three extremely important and pivotal aspects of health. Foods and spices that assist in these activities are carminatives, laxatives, cholagogues, emetics, and bitters. Cholagogues (laxatives) are herbs that promote the flow of bile into the small intestines to aid digestion and stimulate elimination, like Aloe, barberry, Oregon grape root, mandrake, goldenseal, wild yam and licorice.
OREGON GRAPE ROOT is a biliary tonic that has a strong effect on the liver and thyroid. It stimulates the secretion of bile and thus aids in digestion and the purification of the blood. It is a tonic for all the glands and it aids in the assimilation of nutrients. A teaspoon of the tincture taken 3-4x daily treats all skin diseases due to toxins in the blood, including psoriasis, eczema, herpes and acne. It is also used to treat rheumatoid arthritis and hepatitis.
WILD YAM, as both an antispasmodic and cholagogue is valuable for treating griping (bowel spasms), cramps and muscle pain, arthritis, and joint inflammation. As a bile stimulant it is useful in the treatment of bilious colic and intestinal gas. Use wild yam in small quantities in teas or two capsules taken 3x daily.
