Senna
Senna is a plant that belongs to the legume family. It is native to tropical and subtropical regions of the world, and it is widely cultivated for its medicinal properties. Senna contains compounds called sennosides, which are found in the leaves, stem, and pods of the plant. These compounds stimulate the muscles in the walls of the intestine, causing the bowel to contract and move waste through the intestines. Senna is used as a natural laxative to help relieve constipation. It is often marketed as a 'natural vegetable laxative'. It is available in a number of forms, including tablets, capsules, and a liquid extract. Although it can cause dependence with long-term use (i.e., the body becomes dependent on it for regular bowel movements), when compared to other stimulant laxatives, like bisacodyl, it is considered safer in that regard.

Licorice
Description:Licorice, also known as glycyrrhiza, is a plant native to parts of Europe, Asia, and the Mediterranean region. The root of the plant has been used for centuries in traditional medicine and is often consumed in the form of candy, tea, and supplements. Licorice has a number of purported health benefits, including the ability to soothe sore throats, reduce inflammation, and improve digestive problems. It may also have antiviral and antibacterial properties. Licorice naturally contains glycyrrhizin, or glycyrrhizic acid, which can have toxic effects if consumed in large amounts. However, licorice can be processed to remove glycyrrhizin, resulting in DGL (deglycyrrhizinated licorice). Many dietary supplements that contain deglycyrrhizinated licorice are often simply named 'DGL'.

More about sustainably wild harvested ingredients
We are working in support of indigenous communities in Central America, to obtain the roasted breadnut seed for this product. When you buy Chocolate Smooth Move(R) you are contributing to the livelihoods of families living in the Uaxactun community in the protected Mayan BioSphere Reserve. These families collect breadnut seed for food and also to sell for export. Collecting breadnut from the forest provides an economically and environmentally sustainable alternative to deforestation for cattle grazing, monoculture crops and tree cutting for plywood. We have other similar stories about our herb sources. For more information on our commitments to conservation and sustainability please visit us at www.traditionalmedicinals.com. Thank you for the support of our company.
