Newtons Peptic Drops combine a synergistic blend of traditional herbal extracts used to support the healing of the digestive lining, reduce inflammation, and assist the body in managing bacterial imbalances often associated with peptic ulcers. This formula targets the root causes of ulcer formation—acid irritation, inflammation, and infection—while promoting mucosal repair and immune resilience.
Key Herbal Actions:
Goldenseal (Hydrastis canadensis):
A potent herbal antibiotic and mucosal tonic, Goldenseal is traditionally used to reduce inflammation and infection in the gastrointestinal tract. Rich in berberine, it helps inhibit Helicobacter pylori, a bacterium often linked to ulcer development. Goldenseal also stimulates bile flow and supports overall liver function, aiding digestive health.
Poke Root (Phytolacca americana):
Used in small, controlled amounts due to its potency, Poke Root is a powerful lymphatic cleanser and immune modulator. It supports the removal of inflammatory waste products and boosts the body's immune response, helping to reduce chronic infections and stagnation in gut tissues.
Marshmallow Root (Althaea officinalis):
A classic demulcent, Marshmallow soothes and coats irritated mucous membranes along the digestive tract. It provides a protective layer that shields the stomach lining from further acid damage while promoting healing and reducing discomfort associated with ulceration.
Echinacea (Echinacea angustifolia/purpurea):
Best known for immune support, Echinacea also exhibits anti-inflammatory and tissue-repairing actions. It enhances the body’s natural defenses and aids in controlling infections, particularly in cases where ulceration may be associated with immune suppression or microbial imbalance.
Suggested Companion Herbs:
To complement this formula and provide more comprehensive support, the following herbs may be considered:
-
Licorice Root (Glycyrrhiza glabra): Especially in its deglycyrrhizinated (DGL) form, licorice helps rebuild the stomach lining and neutralize acidity.
-
Slippery Elm (Ulmus rubra): A mucilaginous herb that further protects and heals the gut lining.
-
Chamomile (Matricaria recutita): Calms nervous tension and relieves spasms and inflammation in the digestive tract.
-
Meadowsweet (Filipendula ulmaria): Contains natural salicylates and tannins that soothe inflammation and reduce acid output.
-
Yarrow (Achillea millefolium): Astringent and anti-inflammatory, useful in bleeding ulcers or gastritis.
-
Turmeric (Curcuma longa): Offers anti-inflammatory and antibacterial effects that support ulcer healing and regulate acid secretion.
Usage:
Take as directed by a healthcare practitioner. Suitable for individuals with gastritis, peptic ulcers, or chronic digestive inflammation. May be used alongside pharmaceutical treatments such as proton pump inhibitors or antibiotic therapy for H. pylori (e.g., compounded bismuth and antibiotics) under professional guidance.
