Research:
Senna Seed:
Traditionally people in northern Africa and southwestern Asia have used senna as a digestive purge or cleanser for centuries. It was considered a "cleansing" herb because of its cathartic (purging - cleansing) effect.
Senna is a popular herb with certain health benefits. The leaf and the seed are the most common parts of the plant to use.
Some of the active constituents are compounds called anthraquinones, which are powerful and effective cleansers.
Senna is also used by some for other purposes. One of which is weight loss.
Senna is an herb that is known world wide. We believe that its popularity comes from the results people experience when used when digestion slows.
Researchers have found that active compounds, called sennosides, in senna. Sennosides work by promoting colon contractions which of course facilitates or promotes healthy bowel movements.
Senna may also prevent water and electrolytes from being reabsorbed by the colon. This action is thought to increase fluid available in the intestines which may soften fecal matter or stools.
Cascara Sagrada:
The literal Spanish translation of Cascara Segrada is Sacred Bark.
This is the name given to the plant by the Spanish Priests.
There are two possible reasons for the name.
One is that the bark was dried and used as a laxative or purgative by the priests.
The other is that the wood closely resembles the wood used to build the ark of the covenant.
Cascara Sagrada has active componants called anthraquinones.
The anthraquinones and phytochemicals in Cascara Sagrada are thought to work as peristaltic stimulents.
These anthraquinones may be the reason that Cascara is used to promote healthy bowel movements. They stimulate the peristoltic muscles and thereby assist in the elimination of fecal matter from the colon.
Peristaltic muscles flex in a wave-like motion in the intestines. The wave-like motion causes fecal matter to move through the bowel to facilitate a healthy bowel movement.
Cascara bark also contains resins, tannins and lipids
Purging/ cleansing the bowel is cascara sagrada’s claim to fame. Having similar active constituents to Senna makes this a very synergistic herb for purging the lower GI (gastrointestinal tract).
Cascara Sagrada also has phytochemicals like aloe-emodin, casanthranol,chrysophanic acid and beta carotene. these are thought to assist with the purgative actions of the herb as well.
While cleansing and purging the bowel in the elimination process Cascara Sagrada (Sacred Bark) also provides healthy micro-nutrients.
Cascara Sagrada contains healthy micro nutrients, calcium, iron, linoliec acid, magnesium, manganese, potasium and zinc to name a few. Plus a good helping of vitamin B complex and C
Aloe Vera:
Aloe vera has been known for its healing properties for at least 6,000 years. In the early days, the plant was known for being a “plant of immortality” and was presented to Egyptian pharaohs as a funeral gift.
Over time, groups from many geographical areas have used aloe vera, including Indians, Chinese, Mexicans, and North Americans.
There are two medicinally useful parts of the aloe vera plant.
First, the leaves are filled with a clear gel. This gel is extracted from the plant and usually used on the skin to treat burns and various skin conditions. The gel can also be found in liquid or capsule form and taken orally.
The second substance the plant produces is called aloe latex. This is the yellow pulp that’s found just under the outer part of the plant leaf. Aloe latex has been shown to have laxative properties, and it’s usually taken orally to treat constipation.
Aloe latex contains aloin, which is an anthraquinone that gives aloe vera its laxative properties and may help treat constipation. (NIH Report Link)
The healing properties and the laxative properties of Aloe Vera are both vital in the process of a healthy colon cleanse.
Gentian:
Gentian (Gentiana lutea) is a bitter herb that has been used as a traditional medicine throughout Europe for over 2,000 years.
Gentian is a bitter herb thought to stimulate digestion by increasing saliva production and promoting stomach acid and digestive enzyme production.
There’s some evidence that Gentian can stimulate the secretion of enzymes in the small intestines and increase gastric secretion, which makes breaking down foods and absorbing nutrients easier.
Calendula:
Calendula has an abundance of flavonoids which are antioxidants. These plant-based antioxidants protect cells from free radical damage.
Calendula has may also increase blood flow to assist in oxigenating and soothing irritated tissue.
Butternut Bark:
Butternut bark is not from the squash like one would think. The butternut bark actually come from the White Walnut Tree. Its natural habitat is in the northeast portion of North America.
The Native Americans used the bark of the tree to promote proper digestion and elimination. The Europeans learned of and adopted the use of Butternut Bark from those Native Americans.
Traditionally people take butternut to assist in healthy bowel function. Herbalists consider butternut as “a tonic.”
Licorice Root:
Centuries ago, licorice root was used in Greece, China, and Egypt to promote proper digestion.
Licorice root also has been used as a sweetener.
The traditions of the past have carried over into modern times. Today, people use licorice root as a dietary supplement for digestive health.

Benefits of Colon Cleansing
A PROPRERLY FUNCTIONING COLON (small intestine) is by far the best benefit a person can receive from cleansing. Your colon is a 23 foot long tube that fits in your abdomen. To give you an idea of how long that is; the distance from the foul line to the out of bounds line in basketball is 23 feet 9 inches. The small intestine winds around and folds over many times in order to fit in your abdomen. With that visualization it is easy to imagine something blocking or getting stuck somewhere in that 23 feet of flexible tubing.
It is said that 90% of all of the digestive functions happen in the colon. The main function of the colon or small intestine is to break down the food that we eat and absorb nutrients, vitamins and minerals into the blood for use in ALL bodily functions. After the colon separates the nutrients from the waste and delivers the nutrients into the blood stream it excretes the waste in the form of fecal matter (poop) from the body through the anal canal.
The colon contains friendly bacteria and enzymes to that break down the food. When the colon is functioning properly this is all very smooth. Prescription drugs and sugary, starchy foods can upset the balance and start to slow the process down. Sometimes the only thing that gets a colon back to a healthy functioning state is a good old fashioned cleanse.
