Take a WHACK at belly woes with this nutty ‘weed’
When you’ve got the belly blues…
The discomfort can really PUT A DAMPER on things.
There’s nothing that could RUIN a romantic dinner… a long drive on a sunny day… or a celebration at the 19th hole like digestive issues.
If your digestion isn’t as smooth as you’d like it to be… and it’s BRINGING YOU DOWN…
You don’t have to SUFFER through it…
Or let it CRAMP your style.
Because there’s an ancient approach to healthy digestion that you need to know about.
It’s one of the MOST IMPORTANT Chinese herbs out there…
But in other parts of the world, it’s considered a WEED!
The Chinese secret to digestive ease
Cyperus (Cyperus rotundus) is a type of “nut grass” that’s common in China… where its traditional medicinal practice refers to it as “Xiang Fu.”
According to TCM theory, its root (Rhizoma Cyperi in Latin) helps “regulate Qi”… or maintain the “vital energy” necessary to help us THRIVE.
And that has EVERYTHING to do with getting proper nutrition… and supporting healthy digestion.
Traditionally, cyperus is used to help promote an “energy flow” through certain bodily “meridians” – like the liver, gallbladder, and stomach.
Also known as “musta” in the ancient Indian medicinal practice of Ayurveda, cyperus has a slightly bitter taste…
Which we know helps get your gastric juices flowing throughout your digestive system.
That’s why it’s been used for MILLENNIA as a remedy for stomachache… poop problems (especially diarrhea)… and more.
But that’s not all…
It also helps RELAX the smooth muscles of the intestines… to reduce cramping and excessive bowel movements.
Cyperus even offers anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial action.
In fact, the evidence behind its traditional use is SO compelling… researchers are now looking into using it to help fight IBD and ulcerative colitis!
In Ayurveda, cyperus is sometimes given alongside ajwain… caraway… ginger… bael… and more.
As TCM rarely treats symptoms with any one single herb, cyperus is usually combined with aucklandia… atractylodes root… and more.
You can get Cyperus in an herbal formula called “Cyperus Formulation” from Dragon Herbs at your local health food store or online.
But when it comes to traditional medicine, it’s always best to consult a certified Chinese herbalist… or Ayurvedic practitioner… who can CUSTOMIZE your plan for your specific condition.
