Have a question we haven't answered yet? Get in contact with us here.
Are there herbs for diarrhoea?
Are there herbs for diarrhoea?

Are there herbs that support gut healing?
Yes. Demulcent herbs like Marshmallow Root, Slippery Elm, and Licorice root coat and soothe irritated digestive tissues, supporting repair.
Can herbs help balance gut bacteria?
Can herbs help balance gut bacteria?
Yes. Antimicrobial herbs such as Andrographis, Oregano, Thyme, and Garlic can reduce harmful microbes, helping to restore balance in the gut. Prebiotic herbs like Burdock root and Chicory Root feed and encourage the growth of beneficial bacteria. Matcha green tea provides antioxidants and mild antimicrobial effects, while its polyphenols can help beneficial gut flora thrive. Other supportive herbs include Licorice root, which soothes and protects the gut lining, Slippery Elm for its prebiotic and mucilaginous properties, and Turmeric, whose curcumin supports a balanced microbiome through its anti-inflammatory action.
Can herbs help with constipation?
Can herbs help with constipation?
Yes. Different types of herbal laxatives work in different ways:
- Stimulant laxatives (e.g., Senna, Cascara Sagrada) stimulate the intestinal nerves, increasing muscle contractions to speed up bowel movements. They act fairly quickly (within 6–12 hours) but can sometimes cause cramping and are best used short-term. Aloe latex works in a similar way. The Intestinal Detox Formula #1 from Eden Healthfoods contains many of these herbs, plus carminatives to ease griping, and bitters to stimulate digestive function.
- Bulk-forming laxatives (e.g., Flaxseed, Psyllium Husk) add fiber and bulk to the stool, which stimulates natural movement of the bowel. They are gentle, support long-term regularity, and can be used daily if tolerated with adequate water intake.
- Demulcent herbs (e.g., Slippery Elm, Marshmallow Root) coat and soothe the digestive tract, add moisture, and make stool easier to pass. They’re particularly helpful for people with dry or irritated bowels.
