Learning with LaRee

Oregon Grape contains several alkaloids and has a very bitter taste. The benefits of these alkaloids far outweigh any complaint about taste. Herbal bitters strengthen the digestive tract by stimulating the flow of bile. Oregon Grape has a sedative effect on the smooth muscles lining the intestinal tract so that less pain is felt as the herb stimulates production of bile which loosens waste from the colon walls. This prevents many complications such as constipation, stomach cramps, diverticulosis, hemorrhoids, gallbladder disease, and irritable bowel syndrome. If these conditions already exist, Oregon Grape has constituents which can aid healing, and the sedative effects help with the pain throughout the process.
