Essential Accompaniments to Dr Christophers Herbal Bowel Formula
by Max Hill
Psyllium Husks
Psyllium provides a type of fibre - and we have all heard that fibre is good for bowel function. However, not all fibre is the same. Mention fibre and many people think of bran. The trouble with bran is that it scratches the bowel, which is not a good thing. It is better to have a lubricating type of fibre such as that provided by Psyllium Husks. This is why Psyllium has become so popular.
Psyllium Husks are available as powder; but be sure to get the type with no additives - just check the ingredients list. Powder is the cheapest way to use psyllium. Just take a teaspoon or so, stir it vigorously into a mugful or glassful of water or fruit juice and drink it down quickly - before it starts to thicken. You have about 5 seconds to do this before it is really thick!
This slight rigmarole is why many people go for Psyllium Husk Capsules, rather than the powder. If you do take capsules remember to take a glass of water or juice with them as they do absorb a lot of water and you dont want them to clump up in your stomach.
Bowel Flora Capsules
The other product which supplements Dr Christophers herbal cascara compound is a quality bowel flora supplement. When getting a bowel flora product you need to get a quality one. This is because good bowel flora needs to:
- Survive the trip through the stomach acid to the colon, or bowel
- Adhere to the colon wall once it gets there
- Reproduce effectively, once it has adhered
The best strains of bowel flora have been carefully researched and tested and are patented so that this research cannot be stolen. This all costs extra, of course, but it is the reason it is worth paying more for a good bowel flora supplement.
Many people have a deficiency of good bowel flora. This produces an excess of the bad bowel flora which not only smothers the good type but also produces toxins which leach back into the body - a double negative.
Supplementing the good bacteria with capsules of a good quality flora is one good way to try to restore the correct balance of good bacteria to bad which should be present in the bowel.
Dr Christophers Cascara Compound Work Best With Extras
It is very good to combining Psyllium Husks and a good bowel flora supplement with Dr Christophers herbal cascara compound. This makes the fantastic herbal formula even more effective. Look out for a 90-day herbal programme for the colon.
