Tummy troubles? This Himalayan flower root helps RESTORE BALANCE

As we age… our digestive systems get older, too.

That could mean nausea… heartburn… indigestion… upset stomach… diarrhea…

Well, you know the whole song and dance by now.

And while you may be inclined to reach for the Pepto or the Tums… as you’ve always done…

Or even start up on an even STRONGER medication…

Your healthy digestion may need something else.

Here’s an ancient herb that could help keep things in your gut running smoothly.

Take a BITE out of belly blues

Atis (Aconitum heterophyllum)is a flowering plant in the buttercup family that grows in the Himalayan Mountains.

Its tuber-like roots are dried and used as medicine in the ancient practice of Ayurveda… which calls it “ativisha.”

Its 2 main characteristics are ones that benefit digestion the most: cool and bitter.

The cooling part helps EXTINGUISH inflammation… a.k.a. the “fire” of an upset stomach.

And bitter herbs have carried on a long tradition of getting gastric juices flowing to help things move along and through the digestive system.

In Ayurveda, that’s known as “increasing digestive fire.”

Now, I know that sounds like a contradiction… but Ayurveda is all about BALANCE.

And it uses ativisha to help you achieve the RIGHT kind of fire… without going overboard.

Similarly, this herb has a “drying” quality… which could help with diarrhea…

But it also prevents water loss from the body.

That’s not all that ativisha has to offer.

It also has detoxifying power… which could help CLEAR OUT any foreign invaders in your digestive system that could be causing trouble.

And that could help support the absorption of nutrients, too!

In Ayurveda, ativisha is sometimes combined with ginger… giloy… and cyperus.

Too much of a good thing, in this case, could be BAD. Because you need to get just the right amount… and prepared in just the right way… in order for it to do some GOOD…

And not HARM you.

As ativisha is an endangered plant, you might not be able to get your hands on it anyway… even under the guidance of an Ayurvedic practitioner.

In that case, the recommended substitute is cyperus… which is known in Ayurveda as “musta.”
