may help symptoms

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.
