Rest and Play the Natural Way

Want to know the secret to vitality and longevity? Although a one pill fixes all is appealing, the reality is great nutrition, plenty of water, regular movement, lots of laughter and good sound sleep is the secret. Are you groaning, “We’ve heard this all before”.
The reason it keeps coming back is because it is true, it’s the one secret to improve your energy for good!

The Sleep Factor
One of the biggest factors influencing your day is how you slept last night. It determines how much energy you have to face challenges and embrace opportunities, it will also depict, how you eat and consequently how you function.

There’s big industry in drugs that induce sleep, but with increasing awareness of the health side-effects we see a growing movement towards more natural solutions.

Natural Sleep Solutions

Lifestyle Changes
A very simple and effective step towards good sleeping habits is to ensure your bedroom is totally dark. Any light can affect the release of our wake-up hormones and disrupt sleep patterns.
Exercise (though not before bedtime), light evening meals, disconnecting electronic devices two hours before you go to bed and reducing alcohol and caffeine, are all good sleep habits.
Initially, when attempting to follow a healthy lifestyle regime, you may need a helping hand to bring the metabolism into balance and that’s where natural supplementation comes in.

Gentle Homoeopathic Remedies
Homoeopathic remedies and tissue salts taken throughout the day can have a calming physiological effect. Some of these remedies are safe for children and suitable during pregnancy, a time when sleep patterns are often disturbed.

Increasing your protein intake
Protein is the most abundant constituent in the body besides water. It is responsible for the structure of body cells. It is essential for growth and development. Protein is required for hormonal, enzymatic function and energy production.

Natural Herbal Adaptogens
Adaptogens help the body to resist or cope with stress and are another means of attuning ourselves for better sleep and the consequent benefit of increased energy. Products containing adaptogenic herbs like rhodiola, Siberian ginseng and withania will help to tune and strengthen the nervous system resulting in increased stamina and an ability to deflect tension in times of stress.

• Schisandra, traditionally considered particularly beneficial for the Lung organ-meridian (which is responsible for the production and distribution of Defensive Qi)
• Reishi mushroom (also known as Ganoderma), which is traditionally taken to relieve weakness and fatigue , improve stamina, and help reduce susceptibility to recurrent upper respiratory infections

WHY AM I SO TIRED?

In today’s face paced society it is not unusual to suffer fatigue, feel tired, and lack energy.

Symptoms

When you are fatigued, the main feeling is exhaustion, weakness and no stamina. In addition, it can affect concentration, mood and libido.

Why it happens?

You may suffer fatigue because of:

• Depression, anxiety or grief
• Poor sleep habits
• Stress
• Dehydration
• Poor diet or lifestyle choices
• Iron deficiency
• Excessive physical demands
• Ageing
• Obesity
• Medical conditions may include infections, pain, chronic fatigue, restless leg syndrome, blood sugar irregularities or digestive disturbances
•  

What natural therapies can help?

When we are stressed our body utilises magnesium, calcium, zinc, B group vitamins, and vitamin C. Testing to ensure you are not missing out on any of these key nutrients can be done easily at Go Vita Tanunda, even a minor deficiency may contribute to fatigue.

Iron deficiency anaemia may be improved with supplementation.

Calming herbs like Zizyphus, hops and passionflower may help if you are experiencing sleeping difficulties.

Adaptagenic Herbs increase the body’s resistance to stress and builds up general vitality. Herbal tonics can help revitalise you when you are feeling run down. Herbs such as ginseng and astragalus have been traditionally used for centuries to fight fatigue.

What else will help?

• We all get tired now and then but occasionally tiredness indicates there’s something going physically wrong. Iron deficiency is one common cause, but hormonal imbalance and other factors could also be at play. If your energy levels are consistently low despite getting enough sleep, it might be time to talk to Peter Balogh, Naturopath at Go Vita Tanunda.
• Keep yourself well hydrated. Aim for two litres of water daily.
• Maintain blood sugar levels. Eat small regular meals rather than three large meals
• Watch the waistline
• Get adequate rest and follow a healthy diet.
• Chill out – exercise and stretching helps clear your mind and relaxes your muscles. Try deep breathing exercises and meditation if you can’t slow down.

If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, have any allergies or diagnosed conditions, always consult your healthcare professional before taking nutritional or herbal supplements.

Fusion Health Blood Sugar | Vitamins for Women | Vitamins for Men

Healthy glucose balance
High potency formula containing a synergistic blend of Chinese and Ayurvedic herbs traditionally used to help maintain healthy blood sugar.


Features and benefits
May help healthy people maintain normal, healthy blood sugar and glycaemic control, and assist in maintaining cholesterol and blood lipid levels within the normal range.
Contains antioxidants to help protect the kidneys, liver and eyes from free radical damage and inhibit the oxidation of cholesterol.


Synergistic formula combining therapeutic doses of herbs traditionally used in Chinese and Ayurvedic medicine to address imbalances that may contribute to or result from blood sugar imbalance – plus chromium, an essential nutrient for glucose and carbohydrate metabolism.
Specially formulated to complement dietary and lifestyle interventions aimed at helping healthy people maintain healthy blood sugar levels, and may be suitable for use with prescribed medicines after consultation with your healthcare professional


How it works:
Maintaining healthy blood sugar is an important focus of a healthy diet and lifestyle, because over time, poor glycaemic (blood sugar) control may be associated with an elevated risk of a wide range of health issues).

Fusion Health Blood Sugar contains an extract of the Ayurvedic herb Amla (also known as Indian gooseberry or Phyllanthus emblica), standardised for its content of ß-glucogallin. In clinical research, Amla has been shown to help healthy people maintain normal blood sugar levels, reduce LDL-cholesterol (‘bad’ cholesterol) and triglycerides, and increase HDL-cholesterol (‘good’ cholesterol). Amla may also help protect against free radical damage and inflammation, both of which may occur as a consequence of poor blood sugar balance.


The Ayurvedic herbs Gymnema (also known as Gurmar) and Karela (also known as Bitter Melon) are also present in this formula. Scientific studies suggest that Karela (and its major active constituents, such as charantin) may help to improve blood sugar balance via several different mechanisms. Gymnema is traditionally chewed to reduce the ability to sense sweet tastes, and both herbs have traditionally been used to reduce toxins in the body and aid digestion and the assimilation of nutrients.


From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), blood sugar issues are often associated with energetic imbalances such as deficient Heat and disordered Kidney Yinenergy. Huang Bai has traditionally been used to consolidate Kidney Yin and address deficient Heat. In Fusion® Health Blood Sugar, it is supported by Cinnamon, which has traditionally been used to help address blood sugar imbalance and may help to maintain glycaemic control in healthy individuals.

Chromium plays a critical role in glucose metabolism and blood sugar maintenance, and people with low levels of this vital trace mineral may be at increased risk of becoming overweight or developing blood sugar imbalance or high cholesterol or triglyceride levels.


Dosage recommendations:
Dosage (as per label)
Take 1 tablet two or three times daily, 30 minutes before meals.
Child under 12 yrs: Take as professionally advised.
An extra dose may be taken as professionally advised.
During pregnancy, always consult with a qualified healthcare practitioner before taking herbal medicines and nutritional supplements.

FUSION HEALTH COLD & FLU | Health Food Stores | Vitamin for kids

Got a sore throat, blocked nose or annoying cough? Our Cold & Flu formula may help to reduce the severity and duration of these and other symptoms of mild respiratory infections, while also supporting your immune health.

Features and benefits

• May reduce the severity and duration of colds and flu and help fight other mild upper respiratory infections including tonsillitis, laryngitis and sinusitis.

How it works

From the viewpoint of traditional Chinese medicine, colds and flu are more likely to take hold when you’ve been under stress, working hard or exposed to an excess of Wind.

Fusion Health Cold & Flu contains a synergistic blend of Chinese and Western herbs carefully chosen to offset the resulting symptoms and clear Wind and the accompanying Heat, Cold and Dampness that are often present during colds and flu.

For example, Magnolia Flower is traditionally indicated to clear excessive Wind accompanied by excess Cold or Dampness (causing symptoms such as excessive mucus, sore throat, muscle aches, and chills).
On the other hand, herbs such as Honeysuckle, Platycodon and Isatis Leaf and Root have been traditionally used to help clear excessive Heat, so may be of benefit when you’re feeling feverish .
In Cold & Flu, these herbs are accompanied by Echinacea to support immune health and reduce the severity and duration of cold symptoms.

Directions for use:

• Take 2-3 tablets twice daily.
• Child 6-12 yrs: Take 1-2 tablets twice daily.

TOP TIPS FOR SURVIVING WINTER

Wouldn’t you love to say “No cold this year!”? The truth is a strong immune system is your best defence again disease. 

To prevent colds and flu’s this winter season we recommend getting a step ahead with a game plan to support your immune system.

Build up your resistance by supporting your immune system through healthy eating, exercise, rest and plenty of water. Give yourself an extra boost with targeted natural supplements.
As Benjamin Franklin noted, “An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.”

Stress less
Stress can leave you susceptible to sickness. Peter Balogh, Naturopath says “Clients often fall ill after overwork or emotional upsets. Managing stress by keeping a sane schedule including relaxation eases immune system strain.”

Exercise waste away
Moving your body flushes toxins through the lymphatics, pumping immune cells to needy areas. Consistent exercise helps to reduce colds. Activity also stimulates the respiratory system to expel mucus and bowels to excrete waste.

Defense downers
When your body’s busy battling toxins like alcohol, cigarettes, chemicals and sugar it has less energy to eliminate infections. Banish bugs by eating fresh foods, drinking filtered water, and washing hands.

Immune armoury
Astragalus. Not only supports immune function, but also improves resistance to stress and enhances vitality and stamina

Elderberry. Enhances immune function and reduces mucus. It is effective against flu strains, reducing the duration and severity. It also combats sinusitis, sore throats, tonsillitis and bronchitis.

Echinacea. Popular as a preventative against colds and flu. It’s safe to take as a daily immune enhancer and may reduce cold symptoms their duration by days.

Garlic contains antibiotic allicin which is antiseptic, anti-bacterial, anti-viral and anti-fungal. Research reveals garlic prevents and treats colds, coughs, candida and septic wounds.

Vitamin C and Zinc Vitamin C has long been known to ward off infection by supporting the immune system. But when combined with zinc, you get a powerful team of bug fighters.

Probiotics Besides from keeping your gut in good health, probiotics can also help your immunity. Probiotics before bed increase immunity overnight.

Always check the label and follow the manufacturer’s dosage instructions, and if you have any concerns, consult the team or Naturopath, Peter Balogh, at Go Vita Tanunda.

FUSION HEALTH COUGH LUNG TONIC | Health Food Stores | Alternative Medicine | Organic Skin Care & Beauty Products

Relieves coughs & supports lung health

Ease coughing, clear mucous congestion and soothe the airways with Cough Lung Tonic™, specially formulated to address both productive and non-productive coughs.
Features and benefits

Relieves coughs and spasms associated with colds, flu, bronchitis and other upper respiratory tract infections.

Contains expectorant herbs traditionally used to help clear mucus from the lungs, dissolve and clear phlegm and relieve bronchial congestion.
Also helps relieve dry, hacking coughs, ease spasmodic coughing spells, and soothe the bronchial airways.

Specially formulated according to the principles of traditional Chinese medicine to help maintain Lung health and support respiratory function.
Immune-supporting formula to help fight upper respiratory infections and aid recuperation.
For best results, we recommend combining Cough Lung Tonic with Fusion® Cold & Flu to help reduce the severity and duration of cold and flu symptoms, or Astra 8™ Immune Tonic to boost resistance to infection and promote recovery.

How it works:
In traditional Chinese medicine, the Lung organ-meridian system encompasses not just the lungs themselves but also the sinuses, throat, mouth and skin. Together, these tissues play a vital role in immunity by helping to disperse Defensive Qi (a specific form of vital energy or Qi that helps you fend off disease) throughout your body.

According to Chinese philosophy, it is natural for the Lung Qi to disperse in a descending direction. However, when you’re affected by an upper respiratory infection such as a cold, flu or bronchitis, your Lung Qi may accumulate and eventually move upwards instead of downwards, triggering a cough.

Fusion Health Cough Lung Tonic™ contains the Chinese herbs Pinellia, which has traditionally been used to promote the descent of Lung Qi and Balloon Flower, which aids its dispersion in the body.
Also present are a synergistic blend of Chinese and Western herbs that have traditionally been used to relieve both wet and dry coughs and promote the expulsion of mucus, including Aster, Licorice, Elecampane and White Horehound.

• Take 2-3 tablets 1-3 times daily.
• Child 6-12 yrs: Take 1-2 tablets 1-3 times daily.
• Child 2-6 yrs: Take ½-1 tablet 1-3 times daily
• Tablet must be crushed and mixed with syrup or honey.
• For all ages, an extra dose may be taken to enhance results or as professionally advised.
• During pregnancy, always consult with a qualified healthcare practitioner before taking herbal medicines and nutritional supplements.
• Always read the label. Use only as directed. If symptoms persist consult your healthcare practitioner.

Fusion Health Energy Multi | Natural Skin Care & Beauty Products | Organic Skin Care & Beauty Products

Daily multi with energy-boosting herbs to increase stamina.
A high potency multi with Chinese herbs, specially formulated to help you achieve peak energy levels and vitality every day.
Features and benefits

• High potency multi vitamin and mineral formula containing therapeutic doses of Chinese herbs traditionally used to boost energy levels, enhance vitality, promote stamina and endurance and improve resistance to stress.
• Specially formulated to support the functioning of the mitochondria (which generate most of the energy your cells need to function) and help protect them from free radical damage.
• Contains B-group vitamins, folic acid, biotin and other nutrients required to activate the release of energy from the carbohydrates, fats and proteins in your diet, along with the Chinese herbs Astragalus and Korean Ginseng, which have traditionally been used to promote the generation of Qi (life force) from food.
• Aids muscle activity to enhance physical performance and contains calcium and boron to help active people maintain healthy bones.

How it works
The proteins, fats and carbohydrates you consume in your daily diet need to undergo a significant degree of transformation before your body is able to use them as a source of energy.
A number of complex physiological processes are involved, culminating in the production of a compound called adenosine triphosphate (ATP), a form of chemical energy that fuels cellular function and is produced in the mitochondria of the cells.
Fusion® Energy Multi Advanced has been specially formulated to provide key nutrients required by the body for the conversion of food into energy and the production of ATP, including:

• B-group vitamins, folic acid and biotin, which are essential coenzymes in the conversion of food into energy.
• Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10), alpha-Lipoic acid, carnitine, chromium and magnesium to support mitochondrial function and help maximise chemical energy production.
• Antioxidants to help protect the mitochondria from oxidative damage (also known as free radical damage), including vitamin C, CoQ10, alpha-Lipoic acid and Green Tea catechins.

These and other nutrients in Energy Multi Advanced are supported by therapeutic doses of Astragalus and Korean Ginseng, which have traditionally been used in Chinese medicine to increase vitality, boost energy levels and enhance the body’s ability to convert food into Qi or life force.
Together with Gotu Kola, these herbs promote stamina and endurance, and increase resistance to stress.
Other nutrients in Energy Multi Advanced include creatine and zinc to assist with muscle activity and enhance physical performance, and calcium and boron for healthy bones.

HELP! MY KIDS KEEP COMING HOME SICK!

If you think your kids have been catching more colds since they’ve been at kindy or day care, you’re probably right.

This occurs because children’s immune systems are still developing.

When you encounter a cold virus as an adult, your immune system often recognises it as an enemy that it’s tackled before and fights it again before it can take hold.

Without those years of history to draw on, your child’s immune system recognises relatively few viruses, and is less capable of fending them off.

To exacerbate matters, colds are spread by being exposed to droplets from sneezes, coughs and runny noses, so viruses can spread at childcare centres, where many little ones haven’t yet learned the fine arts of washing hands properly, blowing noses or covering mouths when coughing.

Having a child with a cold can sometimes be as exhausting and frustrating as being sick yourself – so how can you boost your child’s resistance this winter?

Probiotics: In babies, toddlers and pre-schoolers, probiotics support the developing immune system, and may reduce the risk of upper respiratory infections. For optimal benefits, choose a product that’s been specially developed for kids.

Immune tonics: Herbal immune tonics such as Olive Leaf, Echinacea or Elderberry may be beneficial for children who are prone to recurrent colds, flu and sore throats, or who are slow to recover after they get sick.

Symptom relief: Some herbal blends for the relief of sinus congestion and other cold and flu symptoms are suitable for children as well as adults, and some are available in liquid tonics that are more easily administered than tablets.

However, bear in mind that the doses may need to be adjusted according to your child’s age and that some herbs are only suitable for young children under the care and supervision of a healthcare professional. Always check the label and follow the manufacturer’s dosage instructions, and if you have any concerns, talk to the team at Go Vita Tanunda.

Fusion Health Green Tea | Natural Beauty Products

Antioxidant support for weight loss & healthy ageing.
High-potency standardised Green Tea supplement to aid weight loss and support healthy ageing and cardiovascular function.
Features and benefits

• May be beneficial during weight loss, strenuous exercise and periods of high stress to help offset the increased oxidation and free radical activity that can occur during these times.

• Assists healthy weight management* and may help lower body fat composition and body mass index (BMI) by activating thermogenesis (energy expenditure) and regulating the burning of calories for energy

• A rich natural source of antioxidants to support healthy ageing by helping to neutralise potentially damaging free radicals that can produce cumulative cellular damage and contribute to the ageing process.

• Supports cardiovascular health and may help maintain normal serum lipid levels and reduce the oxidation of LDL-cholesterol (‘bad’ cholesterol) in healthy people.

• Also supports the health of the immune system, skin, digestive system, prostate and joints, and has anti-inflammatory and detoxifying properties.

• High-strength supplement providing 13.8 grams (13,800 mg) of Green Tea per tablet, standardised for its content of catechins (including epigallo-catechin-3-O-gallate, EGCG) — the compounds responsible for Green Tea’s exceptional health benefits.

• Each Fusion® Health Green Tea tablet has the catechin content of more than three cups of high-quality Green Tea, but at approximately 5 mg per tablet, contains far less caffeine. (In contrast, Green Tea typically contains 30–100 mg of caffeine per cup, while coffee contains 60–200 mg).

How it works:
Green Tea has been consumed in China for more than 5000 years, where it is traditionally attributed with both energising and health-promoting properties. Its medicinal benefits are largely due to its rich natural content of a group of potent antioxidants called catechins, the most important of which is EGCG.

Research indicates that taking Green Tea catechins may have a number of benefits for weight loss. For example, in a study involving overweight and obese people who participated in moderate-intensity exercise for at least three hours per week over 12 weeks, those who took approximately 625 mg catechins/day experienced greater reductions in total and subcutaneous abdominal fat than those who took a placebo1.

In addition, the potent antioxidant properties of Green Tea may help scavenge free radicals generated by normal cellular metabolism (oxidation), periods of high metabolic activity (such as periods of weight loss and/or strenuous exercise), or excessive exposure to the sun, pollution and environmental chemicals.

Largely as a result of this antioxidant activity, Green Tea may support healthy ageing via numerous mechanisms, including helping to maintain the health of the immune system, skin, digestive tract, liver, prostate and joints. In the cardiovascular system, Green Tea may reduce the oxidation of LDL-cholesterol (‘bad’ cholesterol) and help healthy people maintain normal serum lipid and HDL-cholesterol levels.

Directions for use:

• Take 1 tablet once daily, after a meal.
• Weight management: Take 2 tablets once daily, after a meal.
• Healthy cholesterol: Take 2 tablets once daily, after a meal.
• Sun care: Take 2 tablets one hour before sun exposure, with food.
• Use in addition to appropriate external sun protection.
• An extra dose may be taken to enhance results or as professionally advised.
• During pregnancy, always consult with a qualified healthcare practitioner before taking herbal medicines and nutritional supplements.
• Always read the label. Use only as directed. If symptoms persist consult your healthcare practitioner.

Ingredients:
Each tablet contains extracts equivalent to dry:
Camellia sinensis (Green Tea) leaf 13.8g (13,800mg) equiv. to catechins 345mg incl. epigallo-catechin-3-O-gallate (ECGC) 184mg contains caffeine <5mg
No artificial colours, flavours or preservatives, yeast, wheat, gluten, nuts, dairy or animal products.

Fusion Health Hair Tonic | Fitness and Sports Nutrition

Promotes healthy hair growth and condition
Concerned that your hair is falling out, getting thinner, or is dull, brittle and prone to split ends?
Indications, features and benefits.

• Combines Phytofol® with other ingredients traditionally used to promote healthy hair growth.
• May aid in the management of alopecia (hair loss) and general thinning of the hair.
• Contains herbs traditionally used to address poor or declining hair condition (including hair thinning, premature greying, split ends, and dull, weak or brittle hair) and to help restore hair strength, volume (thickness), shine and colour.
• Suitable for men, women and children over the age of 2 years.
• Visible results are possible within 2–4 months, but may vary depending on the original degree of hair loss, condition of the hair, and/or underlying cause of hair loss.

How it works

• In Chinese medicine hair growth and development is regulated by the Kidney and Liver organ-meridian systems, with Kidney Essence (also known as Jing) promoting hair growth, and Liver Blood directing nourishment to the hair follicles and scalp.
• Low levels of either Jing or Liver Blood may cause hair loss (including alopecia areata and both male and female pattern baldness), and/or cause the hair to become dry, brittle, or prematurely grey.
• Fusion® Health Hair Tonic contains herbs such as Dong quai, Peony and Rehmannia, which have traditionally been used to support, nourish and invigorate these systems, revitalising the scalp and hair follicles, and promoting healthy hair growth.
• In addition, our exclusive, proprietary ingredient Phytofol®, a standardised extract of the Chinese herb Fallopia multiflora, helps regenerate and revitalise resting hair follicles to increase the number of hairs in the growth phase of the hair growth cycle. It may also help lower levels of the hormone dihydrotestosterone (DHT; excessive quantities of which can lead to male and female pattern baldness by causing the hair follicles to shrivel or atrophy) and increase hair follicle pigment (melanin) to promote normal hair colour and help inhibit premature greying.

Dosage Recommendations:

• Take 2 capsules once or twice daily.
• Child (6–12yrs): Take 1 capsule once or twice daily.
• Maintenance: Take 1 or 2 capsules daily.
• An extra dose may be taken to enhance results or as professionally advised.

IBS SOLUTIONS – GO VITA TANUNDA

If you have tummy troubles you may be among the 20% of Australians suffering from irritable bowel syndrome or IBS. Naturopath, Peter Balogh, outlines a six step process to help your stomach smile.

Stomach cramps, bloating, nausea, diarrhoea and constipation are common IBS symptoms. It’s best to visit your healthcare professional for a diagnosis as IBS can continue indefinitely if mismanaged.

Six steps to IBS relief

The key to overcoming IBS is the discipline to avoid allergens, eat mindfully, relax and take appropriate complementary medicines consistently.

1. Exterminate aliens
Remove parasites contributing to gut inflammation with wormwood, black walnut hulls, or oregano. Ask a Go Vita health specialist for the best product for you.

2. Cleanse the colon
Flush out toxins with magnesium oxide for two consecutive nights. Then take aloe vera juice for a week. This mild laxative softens stools, heals gut lining and reduces gut sensitivities seen in IBS.

3. Eliminate allergens
Every IBS sufferer has food foes. Along with food allergy testing, which can be done at Go Vita Tanunda, by Naturopath, Peter Balogh, an accurate way to identify allergens is to remove them from your diet and reintroduce them with awareness.

Common irritants include lactose, gluten, legumes and yeast.
Stimulants should be reduced including cigarettes, caffeine, and alcohol.
Sugars tend to feed IBS.

4. Focus on what you eat and how you eat

The following foods minimise post meal moans.

• Peppermint tea has been shown to reduce all symptoms associated with IBS.
• Fibre intake builds beneficial bacteria but too much can trigger diarrhoea and too little bogs up bowels. Try soluble fibre sources such as dates, prunes, figs, carrots and sweet potato. Eat flax seed oil for softer stools. If you get constipated, try psyllium as a bulking laxative.
• Probiotic foods like yoghurt and sauerkraut banish bad bacteria and heal the gut.
• Prebiotic rich foods such as bananas, garlic, and honey fertilise probiotic flora.
• Fruits are less likely to ferment when eaten alone and before 6pm. Papaya is rich in enzymes and pineapple contains anti-inflammatory bromelains.
• Add anti-gas herbs like cumin, dill, mint and ginger to dishes.

How you eat is as important as what you eat. Try these tips:

• Don’t eat three hours before bed
• Sit in an upright posture, breathing deeply
• Take digestive enzymes with each meal
• Chew each mouthful 20 times
• Sip warm water
• Take a stroll after dinner

5. Heal your gut
There are many complementary medicines important for gut health:

• Turmeric: Anti-inflammatory turmeric provides improvement to IBS symptoms.
• Slippery elm: Heals gut inflammation and softens stools.
• Probiotics: Improve abdominal pain, bloating, diarrhoea and constipation.

6. Dissolve stress
IBS sufferers often hold tummy tension. Therapies like meditation and yoga are recommended. Regular exercise is also important.
