-
Foeniculum Vulgare (also known as Fennel) has been used since ancient times to ?take the edge off' appetite and was traditionally used to prevent 'growling stomachs' during church services! Fennel also supports the health of the liver, kidneys and spleen. The health of these body organs is essential for the breakdown of dietary fat and the elimination of waste products from the body. Furthermore, Foeniculum vulgare has been shown to assist with digestion in even the most delicate digestive systems, such as infants with colic. (Savino F, Cresi F, Castagno E, Silvestro L, Oggero R, A randomized double-blind placebo-controlled trial of a standardized extract of Matricariae recutita, Foeniculum vulgare and Melissa officinalis in the treatment of breastfed colicky infants. Dipartimento di Scienze Pediatriche e dell'Adolescenza-Università di Torino, Ospedale Infantile Regina Margherita, Azienda Ospedaliera OIRM S. ANNA, Piazza Polonia, 94, 10126 Torino, Italy, Wiley InterScience Journal, 10.1002/ptr.1668).

Mentha Piperita (also known as Peppermint) is a herb from the mint family and has been used for many hundreds of years to promote healthy digestion. It relaxes the muscles of the digestive tract and stimulates the flow of natural digestive juices and bile, thereby assisting the body to effectively digest and process food.(Taylor BA, Luscombe DK, Duthie HL. "Inhibitory effect of peppermint on gastrointestinal smooth muscle" Gut. 1983;24:A992). Peppermint has also been shown to facilitate healthy digestion by calming the stomach. (Kline RM, Kline JJ, Di Palma J, et al. "Enteric-coated, pH-dependent peppermint oil capsules for the treatment of irritable bowel syndrome in children". J Pediatr. 2001;138:125-128).
-
Taraxacum Officinalis (also known as Dandelion) is an unusually nutritious food. It contains substantial levels of vitamins A, C, D, and B complex as well as iron, magnesium, zinc, potassium, manganese, copper, choline, calcium, boron, and silicon. The bitter principle of dandelion stimulates digestion, including the secretion of salivary and gastric juices. Dandelion also promotes the flow of bile, supporting liver health. (Hook I, McGee A, Henman M, et al. "Evaluation of dandelion for diuretic activity and variation in potassium content". Int J Pharmacog 1993;31(1):29-34). In recent studies, Taraxacum officinalis was shown to have an effect on laboratory animals with respect to body weight. (Racz-Kotilla E, Racz G, Solomon A. The action of Taraxacum officinale extracts on the body weight and diuresis of laboratory animals. Planta Med 1974;26(3):212-217).

Astragalus Membranaceous According to tradition, this herb "strengthens the spleen, blood and Qi, raises the yang Qi of the spleen and stomach, and stabilizes the exterior" and has been used in Traditional Chinese Medicine for many centuries as a tonic for the endocrine system. Preliminary research suggests that Astragalus membranaceous might be useful in treating thyroid disorders and diabetes, which greatly impact metabolism. (Xia SN, Xu ZZ, Zhang ZH, et al. "Hyperthyroidism treated with "yiqiyangyin" decoction". J Tradit Chin Med . 1986;6:79-82.) (Zhang YD, Wang YL, Shen JP, et al. "Effects on blood pressure and inflammation of astragalus saponin 1, a principle isolated from Astragalus membranaceus" BGE Acta PharmSin . 1984;19:333-337). (Zhang H. "Treatment of adult diabetes with jiangtangjia tablets". J Trad Chin Med. 1986;7:37-39).

Glycorrhiza Glabra (also known as Licorice) originates in the Mediterranean and the Middle East and has many uses, including being a general tonic for the digestive system. A recent human study found that a preparation of licorice may reduce body fat. Fifteen normal-weight subjects consumed licorice for 2 months (3.5 g a day). Body fat mass was measured before and after treatment. Licorice was able to reduce body fat mass and to suppress the hormone aldosterone. (Bernardi M, D'Intino PE, Trevisani F, et al. Effects of prolonged ingestion of graded doses of licorice by healthy volunteers. Life Sci . 1994;55(11):863-872). Another study found that a topical preparation of glycyrrhetinic acid (a component of licorice) was able to reduce the thickness of fat on the thigh in human subjects. (Teelucksingh S, Mackie ADR, Burt D, et al. Potentiation of hydrocortisone activity in skin by glycyrrhetinic acid. Lancet . 1990;335:1060-1063).
-
Stachys Officinalis (also known as Wood betony) is very useful for the child who may turn to food for alleviation of discomfort.
Wood betony can help to promote digestion and support metabolism in growing bodies.
-
Melissa Officinalis (also known as Lemon balm) is well-known for its soothing and calming properties and can facilitate calmed behavior. (Muller SF, Klement S. A combination of valerian and lemon balm is effective in the treatment of restlessness and dyssomnia in children. Phytomedicine . 2006;13(6):383-7). Furthermore, lemon balm has been shown to assist with digestion in infants with colic. (Savino F, Cresi F, Castagno E, Silvestro L, Oggero R, A randomized double-blind placebo-controlled trial of a standardized extract of Matricariae recutita, Foeniculum vulgare and Melissa officinalis in the treatment of breastfed colicky infants. Dipartimento di Scienze Pediatriche e dell'Adolescenza-Università di Torino, Ospedale Infantile Regina Margherita, Azienda Ospedaliera OIRM S. ANNA, Piazza Polonia, 94, 10126 Torino, Italy, Wiley InterScience Journal, 10.1002/ptr.1668).Lemon balm also contains substances called tannins, which are thought to cause many of the herb's antiviral effects. (Patora J, Klimek B. Flavonoids from lemon balm Melissa officinalis L., Lamiaceae. Acta Pol Pharm . 2002;59(2):139-43).
