‘Rose berry’ SOOTHES sensitive digestive issues
Is your digestive system becoming unpredictable… or downright stubborn?
Today it’s BLOATING… tomorrow it’s GAS… and the next day it’s INDIGESTION.
And no matter what you eat… it feels like it’s a never-ending cycle of gut-problems.
But rest assured, it’s NOT just happening to you!
In fact, reports show that nearly 40% of older adults have one or MORE digestive issues.
But getting relief doesn’t mean you need to pop an antacid… stomach a gulp of the gross “pink” stuff… or drink one of those fizzy tablets.
You may just need a little help from a ‘rose berry’ that been soothing digestive problems for centuries.
Traditional Chinese physicians have been treating patients with gut problems with a berry from the rose family known as hawthorn for thousands of years.
From settling an upset stomach… cooling cramps… and tempering diarrhea… the hawthorn berry is one of the best natural remedies for stomach issues.
To start, studies have found that hawthorn is packed with anti-spasmodic compounds that help settle out-of-control gut contractions. It’s these contractions that can lead to discomfort… and the uncontrollable urge ‘to go.’
Not only does hawthorn help SLOW DOWN your gut… but it can also speed up a SLUGGISH digestive system – the RIGHT WAY.
Research shows that it helps STIMULATE slow digestion by enhancing the production of certain digestive enzymes that help food get digested MORE QUICKLY. Meaning, the food doesn’t sit around FESTERING in your gut.
According to the theory of Traditional Chinese Medicine, this ‘food stagnation’ is a major culprit behind digestive issues… especially the accumulation of greasy foods.
And with Thanksgiving and Christmas right around the corner, you know there will be no shortage of hearty, fatty, and greasy goodies that could contribute to stomach problems.
But taking hawthorn NOW can help your stomach ready itself.
Hawthorn supplements are also widely available at health food stores and online.
Just check with your doc to make sure it doesn’t interfere with any medications you may be taking… and to only take the dosage listed on the product label.
To better digestion,
