may help symptoms of:

- Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)
with diarrhoea
- Diverticulitis
- Colitis
- Crohn's Disease
- Traveller's tummy
Diarrhoea is the body's attempt to
expel an irritant from the bowel. Infection and food poisoning cause
inflammation in the gastrointestinal tract, resulting in diarrhoea and
vomiting.
A number of antibiotics can upset the
balance of the natural flora of the gut giving rise to diarrhoea. It
may also be a symptom of colitis, Crohn's Disease and IBS.
Stress may be a significant factor
causing over stimulation of the bowel, while chronic diarrhoea may be
a sign of food allergy, often related to dairy products or wheat.
Tannins exert an 'astringent' action on
the bowel. This helps to relieve inflammatory bowel conditions and
reduce the frequency and severity of loose motions.
Mode of Action
- Anti-diarrhoea
- Anti-inflammatory
- Antispasmodic
- Normalises bowel movement
Tormentil has a high tannin content
(10% to 30%) which is responsible for its astringent action on the
digestive tract.
Tannins bind to the proteins present in
the mucous membranes, producing a coat on the membrane surface which
protects the exposed tissues from irritation.
This has the ability to form a barrier
against most infective organisms and many toxins, slowing down the
frequency of bowel movements and encouraging the healing of the
affected bowel.
Avena sativa enhances the action of the
remedy by exerting a mild sedative and restorative effect on the
nervous system, which also calms an overreactive digestive system.
This is particularly relevant in the condition of IBS.
Note: The alcohol can easily be
burnt off if desired, by placing the required drops in a glass of hot
water and leaving for 5-10 minutes before ingesting.
