DETAILED DESCRIPTION

A. Vogel’s Frangula Complex brings together six herbs originating in three different continents. Alder Buckthorn (Frangula) and its transatlantic relative Californian Buckthorn (Cascara) join with soothing Aloe vera and Fumitory along with stimulating Milk Thistle and Nettle. Most have been used since the Middle Ages, being known to herbalists such as Culpepper.

Frangula is a shrub that grows in wet conditions in many countries. It has greenish flowers and dark red berries. Bark is used from the larger branches of the shrub, and is collected in the spring.

How does it work?
Frangula is a remedy for constipation, similar to senna and rhubarb, but milder. The hydroxyanthracene glycosides and bitter principles that it contains give it a stimulating laxative action that is effective but relatively gentle. They also contribute a general toning action to the digestive tract. Resolving constipation frequently has a beneficial effect on the whole digestive system, and may remove or reduce many diverse symptoms, including the symptoms of IBS.
Cascara (Cascara sagrada) is very similiar to Frangula in its constituents and effects. It softens the stool and hence eases the discomfort of haemorrhoids. It helps to relieve constipation without unduly irritating the digestive tract.
Aloe Vera (Aloe barbadensis) is included to balance the effect of the gentle laxatives present, by soothing the lining of the digestive tract. This ensures that no gripping pains are suffered, despite the laxative effect of the preparation.
Fumitory (Fumaria officinalis) contains isoquinoline alkaloids and has a long tradition of use for skin problems, due to its liver tonic action. It stimulates the flow of bile from the liver, which stimulates the peristaltic action that enables the bowel to work effectively. It also relieves spasms in the gall bladder and bile ducts, again balancing its purgative action to ensure none of the painful consequences that can be associated with laxatives.
Milk Thistle (Silybum marianum) has a protective and regenerative effect on the liver, highly desirable when the bowel has been congested.
Nettles (Urtica dioica) are a well-known blood tonic and cleanse the bloodstream of acidic metabolites, adding to the general cleansing action of this Complex.

Additional advice:
Avoid excessive doses. Start with the minimum dose and increase slowly if it is not effective.
