Digestive Disorders

The digestive system is designed to break the food that we eat and absorb the nutrients for our cells to live. The mouth, esophagus, stomach, and intestines are just a few of the major organs that contribute to the digestion of our food. There are also accessory digestive organs, such as the liver and gallbladder, that uniquely contribute enzymes and hormones for the success of the nutrient absorption.

With the complex nature of our digestion, a diseased state can create digestive conflicts. Common illnesses associated with the digestive organs include intestinal conditions such as constipation and diarrhea, hepatitis and upset stomachs. Although over-the-counter medications have been found to treat these illnesses, herbal remedies provide a safer, cheaper and less toxic alternative.
