Harvest a bushel of gut health benefits!

This innovative, plant-based formula supports colon and digestive health and helps create a balanced microbiome.

Herbal Pumpkin helps make the intestines hospitable to a balanced microbiological environment, supporting digestion and intestinal system health.

Herbal Pumpkin combines pumpkin seeds, black walnut hulls and chamomile flowers to help create a balanced microbiome, while the other five herbs help cleanse and lubricate the colon to optimize healthy intestinal function.

Pumpkin seeds, also known as pepitas, are the edible seeds of pumpkins. They were used by Native North Americans and in Traditional Chinese Medicine for targeted intestinal support. Pumpkin seeds are a rich source of zinc, which supports immune function and helps maintain healthy body tissues. Pumpkin seeds also contain gut healthy nutrients like iron, fiber and magnesium. Magnesium has a soothing effect on the bowel and specifically attracts and retains fluid within the colon, which helps soften stool and promotes bowel regularity.

Black walnut hulls have proven to be an effective yet gentle support to the intestinal system, prized for their cleansing properties. Native Americans used many parts of the black walnut tree, including the nuts, bark, leaves and hulls. They found black walnuts effective for providing intestinal system support. Black walnut has been used by herbalists for targeted detoxification for hundreds of years. Black walnut contains bitter compounds and naphthoquinones like juglone that protect the intestinal system in its battle against invaders.

Cascara sagrada supports intestinal cleansing and helps to keep things moving by stimulating the movement of the intestines and increasing the content of water in the bowel. Cascara’s hydroxyanthracene derivatives also support the body’s detoxification processes. Cascara sagrada bark has been used as a natural laxative throughout the world, ever since it was introduced to Spanish settlers in the 1600s.

Chamomile is one of the oldest, most widely used and well documented medicinal plants in the world. It enjoys a variety of natural healing benefits. Chamomile stimulates and supports digestive function. Chamomile's nervine qualities help the body cope with physical tension and relax the muscles that move food through the intestines. Chamomile has been used traditionally for minor gastrointestinal complaints, including upset stomach, gas, indigestion, stomach cramps, and diarrhea.

Mullein’s high mucilage content and mild saponins make it a support for the intestinal system. Mucilage absorbs water in the body and becomes slippery, which may help explain its use for soothing irritation of body tissues such as those lining the gastrointestinal tract.

Marshmallow root is well-known for its soothing properties, especially for the mucous membranes. Marshmallow naturally contains mucilage, which provides demulcent (soothing) effects on the digestive and intestinal systems. Since the stomach and intestines are lined with these protective membranes, marshmallow eases irritation in the gastrointestinal tract and may help counteract excess stomach acid. Marshmallow is also considered mildly laxative and is often used for various intestinal conditions. Plus, marshmallow contains pectin fiber that is capable of carrying a host of substances out of the body that often collect or stick to the mucous membranes.

Slippery elm is a species of elm native to eastern North America. Slippery elm has been used traditionally to support the digestive system and the mucosal lining of the gut. When mixed with water, the soft, inner bark of the slippery elm tree becomes gel-like and soothing. In the 1800s, Native Americans used slippery elm for a variety of benefits, including support for gastrointestinaI tract health to soothe intestinal tissues and for digestive and immune support. Early European settlers adopted this herb and its traditional use spread to include coughs, sore throat and gastrointestinal issues.
