Intestinal System

The intestinal system is part of the digestive system and consists of the small and large intestine (colon). It is in the small intestine that the vital nutrients which the body needs are absorbed into the blood. In the large intestine, water is absorbed from the digestive waste. The waste is subsequently eliminated from the body.

Peak efficiency results from good muscle tone, a healthy bacterial environment and sufficient amounts of indigestible fibre that give bulk to the stool.

Imbalances of the intestinal system affect all other systems. The result is a general build up of waste and toxins in the body. Herbalists traditionally start a program by cleansing the intestinal system before addressing other concerns, since the intestines must carry away the toxic by-products of the healing process.

The Body’s Waste-Disposal Plant: The intestinal system collects waste products from the body and excretes those products with indigestible food fiber.

Some common Intestinal System concerns are:

• Occasional Constipation
• Intestinal Flora Balance
• Complete Elimination
• Nervous Irritability
• Maintaining regularity

• I just wanted to thank you sincerely for all of your help with my children. My daughter Lynae was told she was pre-asmatic and was prescribed inhalers. Whenever she had a cold she would wheeze and become extremely congested. Since you have prescribed some of the Nature's Sunshine products for my children, I have seen a remarkable difference. Lynae no longer has the wheezing issue and her overall health has greatly improved. Thank you so much for all of your help.
  Adam seems to be doing remarkably better. He thinks that the Liver pills have made a huge difference. He use to wake up at night to go the bathroom, but now has been sleeping straight threw the night without having to go.
