Cascara sagrada - Rhamnus pershiana or californian buckthorn is a North American tree of which the bark is used medicinally. Cascara has long been known as a purgative tea  containing hydroxyanthraquinone glycosides that bacterial flora can utilize to stimulate colon motility and increase the water content of the stool. It is considered a gentle stimulating laxative and is best used short term. 

Dandelion root - the root of the humble dandelion plant has been used for hundreds of years for indigestion, liver tonic and as a laxative. It is also a source of inulin and oligofructans, which stimulate the growth of various bifido-bacteria, improving the overall health of the gut microbiome.

Licorice root - Glycyrrhiza glabra takes it name from the Greek glykos = sweet and rhiza = root. It has been used medicinally by all the major ancient cultures and is an official medicine in many countries. Its actions are diverse and include a soothing demulcent action on the respiratory and gastrointestinal systems. It is soothing where there is ulceration of the gut lining and can help to ease dyspepsia and protect the liver.

Fennel seeds - used as a spice, food and medicine for centuries, the seeds have been approved for internal use for gut spasms, fullness and flatulence. Fennel has a carminative action on the gut and can ease colic and intestinal cramps.
