Product Information
For the days things slow right down
Everyone has the odd slow, blocked-up, uncomfortable stretch, and it can throw your whole day off. This tincture is built on senna, one of the oldest and best-known herbs for gently getting things moving again, for the occasions when you need a little natural help.
Senna, the traditional standby
Senna has been the go-to herb for regularity across cultures for centuries, for good reason. It works gently with the body to support a comfortable, natural bowel movement, easing that heavy, bloated, weighed-down feeling so you can get back to feeling like yourself.
A note on using it well
Senna is a stimulant herb, so it is meant for occasional, short-term use rather than every day on repeat. Use it for the odd slow patch, lean on water and fibre for the everyday, and if things do not settle, have a chat with your practitioner.
Easy drops
Being a liquid tincture makes it simple to take and easy to keep to a small, sensible amount. A few drops in water, and you can adjust gently to what your body needs.
Made by a practitioner
One herb in a clean food-grade base, made locally in South Africa by Dr. Hester van der Merwe, who uses it with the people in her own practice. The full ingredients are under Supplement Information.
