Herbal Medicine for Gut Motility

www.byronherbalist.com.au/app...
Herbal medicine can be used to increase and normalise gut motility. We call these herbs herbal prokinetics. They include herbs like ginger, globe artichoke, iberogast, turkey rhubarb, immature bitter orange and magnolia bark among others. I will use herbal prokinetics in a number of different functional digestive disorders including gastroparesis, or delayed gastric emptying, small intestinal bacterial overgrowth, or SIBO and irritable bowel syndrome.

    I laughed when you said "bucketloads of ginger" 🤣 it's the truth- I use a ton of ginger, too (as long at the patient doesnt have gastritis, in which case they will likely hate ginger). It works really well! And in addition to being a prokinetic it is anti-inflammatory, anti-histamine, and is a biofilm disruptor for bad critters. Ginger for the win!

    I found using fresh ginger for tea gave me horrible long lasting heartburn. I had some supplement capsules & opening the caps into hot water for a cup of tea worked for me - no burn. Thought if anyone else is having this issue it might help. I suppose I could use the powder from a supermarket herb but I figure the measured dose in a cap is probably ideal & possibly the production of a supplement may be higher quality.

    Wondering...since it is impossible for you to work with those of us who are international, is it possible to create an online course? That seems to be the approach used by many people now. I understand it leaves a lot up to the individual to interpret and be their own therapist, and there is probably lots of error. But there are many of us who are committed to helping ourselves and would do the work as well as listen to reason. It does involve taking responsibility for ourselves instead of relying on someone else with more training and experience (the down side) but it can be the doorway to a better, healthier life.

    I purchased Iberogast but it seems a bit too harsh for my sensitive system. Maybe I just need to go slowly with it. In the past bitters have helped me a lot, but then all of the sudden they started causing reflux. The same can happen to me with too much ginger, but a little can help a lot. I practically life off of DGL and have found that a cold infusion of marshmallow is nice. I've also tried slippery elm. I wonder if they can block the absorption of nutrients, though? I have H.Pylori and I may have SIBO so I've probably got enough trouble in that department already. Seems like the methane variety as I tend toward constipation. I heard you say that Iberogast it can decrease " visceral hypersensitivity" I thought- aha! that sounds like the name for what I feel. I am going to give it another whirl, thanks. Haven't ever tried meadowsweet but it sounds lovely.
