Why The Carberry Botanicals Blog
I'm starting the Carberry Botanicals Blog. In this blog I'll explain not only what I recommend, but why I recommend it, drawing on decades of practice, the medical traditions I've studied, and the principles that have consistently proved valuable.
The Botanical products and Know Yourself books are from my decades work as a Medical Herbalist. Over that time I've learned what challenges health and the simple things that keep us healthy. Illness often results from those things we repeatedly do and wellness is often the result of those bodily systems that we repeatedly support in doing their job.
Our bodies are built to repair and rebuild themselves daily and supporting this daily maintenance keeps our bodies resilient. The core of health is our digestion and our clearing of the waste that everyday eating and digesting produces. I designed Lower Bowel Tonic to support both digestion and elimination. Our bodies has to constantly rebuild itself and it is digestion that provides the raw material to do this. Efficient digestion provides better raw materials with less wasted nutrients and less waste for the body to dispose of.
This seems simple but digestion is expected to do its job daily regardless of the pressures we daily face. Emotional pressures, diets and our everyday pressures affect our digestion. When a particularly difficult day leaves us windy, bloated and uncomfortable we often assume that this is normal pressure and it is. But a body facing these everyday pressures requires support. Lower Bowel Tonic is built to provide not only the digestive support but to also to support the clearing the waste that everyday digestion produces. Without digestion and elimination that works well, then the build up of waste places everyday pressure on our systems. Regular bowel habits becomes in this way of understanding health an important part of maintaining health. In my study of ancient Egyptian medicine I noticed that bowel support was part of most formulas. This demonstrates a medicine that never abandoned its recognition that everyday preventative support is a necessary aspect of health maintenance. Lower Bowel Tonic is a simple way to implement this.
In the Greco-Roman-Islamic medicinal tradition that stretches from before Hippocrates to Avicenna (Ibn Sina) it is understood that when we don't support digestion and elimination our livers must carry the load of not only breaking down the waste that has entered our bloodstreams but of performing its digestion also. Since our livers are part of our digestion it must now allocate its resources and time to breaking down the accumulate waste so that it can be eliminated through our kidneys,. Lower Bowel Tonic supports regular bowel habits and clears the pressure of the waste before it reaches our livers. This reduces everyday liver and kidney pressures leaving our bodies more resources that can be allocated to rebuilding. This shifts the emphasis from periodic liver cleanses to constant systemic support.
At Carberry Botanicals we apply time tested traditional solutions and clinical experience to our ongoing healing challenges.
Lower Bowel Tonic is designed to increase our resilience by providing gentle everyday support. It's an easy everyday way to provide gentle effective support.
