The old saying goes we are what we eat but even the best nutrition
will go to waste if the body is unable to process it. Good nutrition
is not just a matter of eating the right food, it involves proper
digestion, assimilation and metabolism of food.
There are a multitude of plant remedies that have a use in relieving
digestive system disorders. Most herbs taken by mouth and therefore
go directly to the gut where their healing power will start to be
immediately effective. Herbs of particular importance in treating
the conditions mentioned include Ginger, Psyllium, Slippery Elm
and Dandelion.
