5 Powerful Herbs To Quickly Heal A Leaky Gut

Leaky Gut Syndrome adversely affects your intestinal lining, creating a dysfunctional environment where proper digestion can’t take place.

It’s sometimes referred to as “increased intestinal permeability€.

With Leaky Gut Syndrome, the intestines lose some of their ability to filter nutrients and substances. When this condition develops, food particles, bacteria, and other waste by-products can leak through the intestines and into the bloodstream…

No bueno!

To explain it another way, when we eat, food passess through our stomach and into the small intestine. This is where nutrient absorption happens through a semi-permeable intestinal wall lining.

Since this mucous membrane also protects the bloodstream from potential invaders like undigested food, pathogens, and toxins, it is an essential part of the body’s immune system.

Leaky Guy Syndrome is an annoying condition that develops when the small intestine mucous lining becomes too porous, letting unwanted toxins into the blood stream.

Leaky Gut Syndrome is often caused by damage to the intestinal lining and definitely sounds scary, but can be healed.

Not only does conventional medicine offer solutions, but there are dietary plans you can embrace to help heal the damage, too.

I invite you to start taking herbs to help patch up your leaky gut.

In this post, I’ll examine the five powerful herbs to quickly heal a leaky gut.

You can go out to the health food store today and pick them up.

These don’t require a prescription, and you can have some fun in the kitchen brewing up teas and showing off your new herbal concoctions to your family members.

5 Powerful Herbs To Quickly Heal A Leaky Gut:

Slippery Elm

It might have somewhat of a strange name, but that shouldn’t cause you to doubt its effectiveness as a gut healer.

Slippery Elm has been used as powerful gut healer in the United States for over a century.

This herb has mucilage that stimulates the nerve endings in the intestinal tract and increases your body’s own mucus secretion. This mucus secretion is instrumental in enhancing your stomach’s protective lining and helping to combat against excessive acidity and ulcers in the digestive tract.

It also has powerful antioxidants that help guard against inflammation in the digestive tract.

Slippery Elm is one of many demulcent herbs. These herbs sooth the mucus membranes of the digestive system, acting like a kind of bandage -ideal for a leaky gut sufferer…

Other demulcent herbs include plantain, marshmallow root, and licorice root.

Marshmallow Root 

Marshmallow Root helps soothe the mucus membranes and protect against stomach ulcers, digestive disorders, heartburn, indigestion, ulcerative colitis, sore throat, dry cough and Chron’s disease..

Marshmallow Root is one of the most powerful demulcent herbs, outside of Slippery Elm and also works as a mucilage, producing a thick sticky substance that coats membranes.

Marshmallow extract contains flavanoids, which contain anti-inflammatory properties. 

Look for a combination supplement.

Licorice Root

Licorice Root is a demulcent herb that soothes mucus membranes in the digestive system, like a kind of bandage.

Look for DGL (deglycyrrhizinated licorice root). The ideal dosage is 500 mg of 10:1 extra three times per day.

This form of Licorice Root is extremely helpful in Leaky Gut Syndrome because it doesn’t have any of the side effects of using whole Licorice Root.

We know the glycyrrhizin in licorice root can cause issues with hypertension, edema, and possibly effect a hormonal component of our renal regulation called aldosterone regulation, but deglycyrrhizinated licorice has the significant parts of glycyrrhizin removed, and is therefore safer for long-term use (if needed).

Yarrow

Yarrow has wound healing, anti-spasmodic, antimicrobial, and anti-ulcer properties.

Yarrow has a wide range of healing properties, and it is a good complement to any herbal regimen designed to treat Leaky Gut Syndrome.

The flower of this perennial herb has been used for centuries to treat all sorts of health conditions ranging from toothache to blood disorders.

Plantain

Plantain helps to heal intestinal wounds and seal the leaky gut. It has liver protective, antioxidant, anti-allergic, and anti-inflammatory properties.

Plantain is sometimes called the “band aid” plant because it’s such an awesome wound healer. It also works wonders for leaky gut.

Just like plantain soothes inflamed, wounded and irritated tissues of the skin, it also offers a lot of benefits when used inside the body. It can help soothe irritated mucous membranes and sort throats, and the juice is a great choice to help ease troubled bowels and heal Leaky Gut Syndrome.

It can also help heal ulcerations in the digestive tract, and it can help those who are healing from the damage caused by exposure to food allergens. It has a great safety profile, and it is safe to use for both seniors and children.
