Daily
Regulator
Tonifies
Large Intestinal Function
Daily Regulator is a colon tonic. It may
be used as part of a program to correct intestinal and digestive balance, which
should include the consumption of at least 5, and as many as 12, servings of
fruits and vegetables every day. Exercise improves bowel movements.
Many
people become constipated because they are Yin deficient, meaning that they do
not have enough fluid in their colon. Therefore water consumption is very
important. This formula is a Yin tonic to the colon. Several of the herbs in
this formula contain oils that nourish the colon and improve colon health.
Rhubarb and Magnolia Bark are very potent antioxidants that can improve the
condition of the colon; however, they are also powerful laxatives and should be
used cautiously.
Many
people are constipated because of a poor microbial balance in the intestinal
tract. Consuming probiotics, either in foods or as a supplement can often be
very helpful. Tonic Alchemy contains probiotic organisms and prebiotic foods
that nurture these organisms. Miso soup made from real, live miso can be
miraculous. Kimchi (Korean pickled vegetables) and naturally fermented yogurt
also provide probiotic organisms. Probiotic dietary supplements also can be
used, but are not as useful as food sourced probiotics, since they do not tend
to survive as well in the intestines.
A
healthy diet, exercise and plenty of healthy water are the best way to
establish and maintain healthy bowel function.
Deep
breathing can be very important for people who tend to be constipated. The
movement of the diaphragm and abdominal muscles massage the colon and help it
to do its job more efficiently and effectively.
In
most cases, healthy bowel function can be corrected at the root of the problem
by living a healthy life style, including eating less red meat and getting out
of the easy chair. Fermented foods are often a must and Omega-3 oils are often
very helpful as well. Eat lots of green vegetables and the bowels can get what
they need to work properly.
Because Daily Regulator is
relatively gentle, many people have found that they can use, and tolerate, this
herbal formula for several months while improving other life style issues that
influence intestinal health. This formula is not for permanent consumption.
