During my 25 years of herbal practice, the subject that’s come up most among my patients is digestion. Digestive complaints account for about 30 percent of health consultations with professionals, and more than 40 percent of other consultations end up being gut-related.
Apart from causing all sorts of digestive symptoms, such as diarrhea, constipation, nausea and bloating as well as gastrointestinal disorders like irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), an unhealthy gut can contribute to awide range of chronic health issues, including obesity, metabolic disease, heart disease, cancer, chronic fatigue and mental health problems.
