Supporting digestion

Digestion is the process by which the body breaks down the food we eat into usable components. When we put food into our mouths digestion has already started, because digestion means breaking food down into smaller molecules, which are then used to fuel the energy, growth, and functioning of the body at many levels!

Although we might not think of it as such, the stomach is a muscular organ that contracts and expands in order to mix the food with digestive juices. The most important part of digestion takes place in the small intestine, where most chemical digestion and absorption of food occurs. As the liquid food paste travels through the small intestine, nutrients are absorbed and enter the bloodstream, traveling to all the body's cells and systems to maintain health and replenish the immune system. The intestines complete the process of digestion.

The natural way

Naturopaths recognize that the whole person must be treated in order to support health and promote healthy digestive systems. Rather than treating problems in isolation, Naturopaths prefer to take a holistic look at the individual and encompass a variety of factors to include diet, lifestyle, personality type, surroundings and emotional elements.

Herbal and homeopathic remedies have been used for centuries to assist with healthy digestion, and there is documented use of herbs to promote the digestive process in writings as far back as ancient Egypt. Cultures throughout the world have relied on digestive herbs as part of traditional medicine with excellent results. Even today, herbs and spices are used not only for their delicious taste but also to assist with digestion - helping to promote trouble- free digestive functioning and promote harmony and balance in the digestive tract - naturally!
