Download PDF version of "DENES DIGESTION PLUS TABLETS "

INTRODUCTION

Herbs have been used throughout history to help resolve digestive problems such as diarrhoea, nausea, vomiting, travel sickness and colitis. Often combined together for a synergistic effect, their combined properties can help allay many problems quickly without the need for drugs and without side effects. Since most herbal remedies are taken by mouth and enter the digestive system directly, their action is not only local, but also direct and immediate, bringing a rapid resolution to some of the most common problems to affect both dogs and cats.

HERBS IN DENES DIGESTION PLUS TABLETS

Our Digestion Plus Tablets contain a blend of 4 important herbs in combination with Kaolin.

Marshmallow root (Althea officinalis)

As a demulcent herb with a high mucilage content, marshmallow helps soothe mucus membranes. This not only protects inflamed or damaged areas, but also allows healing to take place. Marshmallow can help with many digestive problems including gastritis, vomiting, diarrhoea and colitis.

Peppermint (Mentha piperita)

Peppermint is a herb with carminative properties known to ease flatulence, bloating and colic. Peppermint will also stimulate the digestion by promoting the flow of bile and digestive juices. The essential oil in peppermint soothes the stomach lining, helping with ulcers, vomiting and nausea. Peppermint is an ideal remedy to help prevent travel sickness.

Agrimony (Agrimonia eupatoria)

Agrimony is a good general herbal remedy to use in solving problems associated with the digestive system. It works as an astringent, both drying and toning the tissues and helping to firm the stools where there is diarrhoea. Agrimony can help particularly with colitis, (especially where there is mucous or blood) and with diarrhoea. It can also help with indigestion. As a bitter tonic Agrimony will help stimulate the appetite and promote the flow of bile from the liver.

Ginger (Zingiber officinali)

Ginger acts on the stomach promoting the flow of gastric juices and assisting the digestion. It also eases problems resulting from excess acid, flatulence (wind) and tummy pain (colic). One of its main effects is in helping relieve sickness (nausea) both from travelling and from tummy bugs.

OTHER CONSTITUENTS IN DENES DIGESTION PLUS TABLETS

Kaolin is a form of clay used to protect the lining of the bowel and to absorb toxins. It will also help bind stools and is useful in resolving diarrhoea.
