Description

ColoDrops contains a synergistic blend of:

Blessed Thistle • Cascara Sagrada Yellow Dock • Licorice Root

Blessed Thistle
Blessed thistle has been historically recommended as helpful for gas, indigestion and upset stomach. Its powerful soothing effects on the digestive tract are due primarily to the large amount of sesquiterpene lactones, such as cunicin, that the herb contains. These bitter lactones stimulate digestive activity by increasing the secretion and flow of gastric juices and enzymes, which leads to improved digestion and appetite. The enhanced flow of gastric juices also helps relieve upset stomach, indigestion & headaches associated with liver and colon congestion. Blessed thistle is used by herbalists worldwide to help stimulate the appetite, cleanse the liver, increase bile flow, aid digestion and strengthen and tone the entire digestive tract.

Cascara Sagrada
Cascara sagrada’s primary function is as a gentle natural laxative. It promotes easier evacuation and normal stool function by increasing the muscular contractions of the lower bowel. In addition, it facilitates activation of the gallbladder, liver and pancreas which is vital to healthy digestion and elimination. Cascara sagrada not only helps restore normal bowel function, but it even helps tone and strengthen the bowels for optimum health. It does all this, yet is considered mild and gentle enough to be used by children and the elderly, and is non-habit forming.

Yellow Dock
Yellow dock promotes proper elimination, improves overall colon health, and supports healthy liver function. As a liver rejuvenator and bitter herb, it helps cleanse the blood, stimulate appetite and promote complete digestion. Because of these valuable effects, it has long been used to cleanse the body of toxic wastes and help disorders associated with impurities in the blood. In addition to its liver benefits, it works as a gentle laxative to promote colon health, ease constipation, and promote clear, healthy skin. Since weak digestion or a clogged bowel can lead to poor skin health, cleansing the bowel may often alleviate skin conditions and drastically improve the overall look and tone of the skin. Yellow dock is invaluable for other digestive complaints, including abdominal pain and cramps, gas, heartburn, and nervous indigestion, while its high iron content helps to enrich blood quality.

Licorice Root
Licorice root is considered to be one of the best natural herbs for colon health and cleansing. Acting as a gentle, yet effective laxative, it promotes regular healthy bowel movements and improves the overall strength and tone of the bowels. While promoting proper elimination, licorice also helps increase bile flow, relieve indigestion, ease inflammation in the digestive tract, and sooth the linings of the stomach and intestines. The mucosa-soothing compounds in licorice are thought to be flavonoids, which have shown benefits for ulcers, irritation, inflammation and spasms in the digestive tract. If that isn’t enough, licorice also appears to enhance immunity by boosting levels of interferon, a key immune system chemical that fights off would-be invaders!

Digestive System Factoids:

• • The large and small intestine together are about 45 feet long!
  
• In our lifetime, the digestive system can handle about 50 tons of food and liquid!
  
• About 90% of what we eat enters the blood through the small intestine. If your digestive system isn’t working properly, you may be eliminating all those precious nutrients from your food!
  
• More than 70 percent of the body’s natural immune defenses are found in the digestive tract, where healthy bacteria called probiotics work to crowd out harmful microbes!

Keep It Clean!
With our modern diet of fast food, pesticides, fertilizers, additives, colorings, flavorings, irradiated foods, sugar, fatty foods, etc., our colon is under tremendous pressure to stay healthy! Combine unhealthy food choices with the fact that the intestines can store a vast amount of partially digested, putrefying matter (as well as drugs and other toxic chemicals) for decades – and you may find yourself in the middle of a health crisis. Not only is the thought of rotting food in your gut just plain gross, but this waste build up can cause bacteria and toxins to spread throughout the body, resulting in serious sickness and even death. In fact, some health experts estimate that around 90% of all sickness and ill-health are related to an unclean colon! The renowned Dr. Bernard Jensen, in his book “Tissue Cleansing Through Bowel Management”, claims that over 95% of people he saw for consultations were constipated!

Even if you have daily bowel movements, are you sure that 100% of the waste is being eliminated? ColoDrops are a great way to cleanse the bowel and improve digestive function and overall health! You clean the outside of your body daily, but what are you doing for your insides?
