Irritable Bowel Syndrome

Irritable Bowel Syndrome by Fusion Health

Combines four scientifically-researched herbs for medically-diagnosed irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).

Features and benefits
– Synergistic combination of four independently researched herbal treatments that may aid the management of medically-diagnosed IBS: globe artichoke, turmeric, peppermint oil and the traditional Chinese formula Tong Xie Yao Fang (Formula for Painful Diarrhoea)
– Bowel symptoms addressed include abdominal pain and bloating; alterations in the frequency, regularity and consistency of bowel movements; and bowel habits tending to constipation, diarrhoea or a combination of both
– May also aid symptoms of urgency (the need to go to the toilet with little or no warning) and the sensation that bowel movements are incomplete
– Also relieves upper gastrointestinal symptoms such as indigestion (dyspepsia), feelings of fullness (including after eating only small quantities of food), and loss of appetite
– For additional digestive support we recommend taking Fusion Probiotic Advanced, which enhances gastrointestinal health, improves the frequency and characteristics of the bowel movements, and promotes normal bowel transit time
– If your IBS symptoms are causing you stress or tend to be worse during stressful times, consider taking Fusion Stress & Anxiety as well as our IBS formula

How it works
In addition to the pain and discomfort it causes, IBS can have a significant impact on your life, interfering with your sleep, work and social life, and making it difficult to go about your day-to-day activities – so it’s little wonder that more than half of all sufferers report feeling that they lack control over their lives.
Fusion IBS is a synergistic blend of four scientifically researched herbal medicines, each of which has been shown to provide symptomatic relief in medically-diagnosed IBS.
Tong Xie Yao Fang is a traditional Chinese formula that combines the herbs Atractylodes, Peony, Citrus Peel and Fang Feng. When translated into English, this formula is known as Formula for Diarrhoea, and as its name suggests, it may help to relieve symptoms of medically-diagnosed diarrhoea-predominant IBS, improving the characteristics of the stool, reducing abdominal pain and bloating, and relieving mental tension.
Peppermint oil has been the subject of several clinical studies, which suggest that it helps reduce abdominal pain and other IBS symptoms.
Globe Artichoke may help normalise the bowel habits of medically-diagnosed IBS sufferers who experience alternating constipation and diarrhoea and lead to a significant reduction in the severity of other symptoms. Its effects are believed to be due to its antispasmodic properties and beneficial influence on intestinal microflora.
Turmeric has been shown to relieve abdominal pain, improve quality of life and reduce the prevalence of medically-diagnosed IBS when taken over at least eight weeks.
