How Do Gastrointestinal Herbals Work?

Gastrointestinal herbals are herbal supplements used for relieving gastric and intestinal issues.

Gastrointestinal herbals relieve gastrointestinal disorders by:

• Reducing intestinal spasms
• Reducing bloating
• Stimulating the production of saliva and gastric juices
• Promoting the growth of healthy gut microorganisms and inhibiting harmful bacteria
• Promoting water recovery in the colon
• Stimulating local immunity in the gut
• Stimulating bowel movement in the intestines
• Increasing the flow of bile
• Relieving inflammation and irritation in the gastrointestinal tract

Gastrointestinal herbals are used for treating:

• Indigestion
• Bloating
• Appetite loss
• Diarrhea
• Irritable bowel syndrome
• Constipation
• Colitis
• Nausea
• Vomiting
• Heartburn
• Intestinal worms
• Gastrointestinal infections

Although most gastrointestinal herbals are safe, some may occasionally cause the following side effects:

• Gastrointestinal disturbances
• Bleeding
• Swelling of lips
• Convulsions
• Headache
• Irritability
• Allergic reactions
• Increased bilirubin
• Increased pancreatic juice
