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:
