The 11 all-natural herbs in BloatEase corrects digestive imbalances by promoting the flow of Qi to the digestive organs.
Mu Xiang (Aucklandia Root), the herb which this classic formula's name is based on, promotes the movement of Qi, especially in the Spleen and Stomach and the intestines. It's been used for centuries for Spleen Qi deficiency symptoms including abdominal fullness and bloating. It also relaxes smooth muscle in the intestinal walls. It works synergistically with other herbs.
The next herb in the formula, Sha Ren (Cardamom Seed), which is related to ginger (see below), removes dampness and warms the Spleen and Stomach.
Xiang Fu (Cyperi rhizome) also promotes Qi movement and soothes the Liver. The next herb, Chen Pi (Dried Tangerine Peel), is a Spleen tonic and helps promote the movement of Qi in the Stomach and Spleen.
Lai Fu Zi (Radish Seed) helps move stagnant food out of the stomach. Historically, Lai Fu Zi has been used in TCM as a digestive aid.
There are two other herbs that resolve distention and strengthen stomach function: Hou Po (Magnolia Bark) and Zhi Qiao (Bitter Orange Peel).
Cang Zhu (Atractylodes Rhizome) dries dampness in the Spleen and Stomach, while also strengthening the Spleen, as does Gan Cao (Licorice Root), which also resolves toxicity.
And finally, Sheng Jiang (Fresh Ginger) warms the middle.
