Pumpkin seeds were used by Native North Americans and in Traditional Chinese Medicine for targeted intestinal support (parasites).
Since its discovery by Spanish settlers in the 1600s, Rhamnus purshiana bark has been used as a natural laxative throughout the world. Native American tribes shared this natural wonder with the Spaniards, who named it cascara sagrada, or “holy bark,” in honor of its effectiveness.
Marshmallow root was used by the Egyptians and Greeks thousands of years ago. Today, herbal and Ayurveda practitioners use it for respiratory and intestinal benefits. This root contains amino acids and beneficial glycosides that may exert a positive influence on airways.
Elm trees grow commonly in New England and the Great Lakes region. When mixed with water, the inner bark creates a lubricating gel that coats and soothes tissues. The Dakota and other tribes boiled the fresh inner bark and drank it as a natural laxative.
