LOOSE STOOL TEA

Loose Stool Tea is a targeted herbal formula designed for people experiencing loose stools, frequent small stools, urgent stools, or occasional diarrhea. According to traditional herbal use, this blend helps tone and firm the digestive tract while also soothing irritation and calming digestive tension.

This formula combines astringent, soothing, and digestive-supporting herbs. Agrimony, Raspberry Leaf, Shepherd’s Purse, and Sage provide the stronger toning and astringent action. Slippery Elm Bark helps coat and soothe the intestinal lining. Chamomile and Fennel Seed help calm gas, cramping, digestive tension, and discomfort.

• Supports frequent small bowel movements
• Helps calm digestive irritation and urgency
• Soothes gas, cramping, and digestive tension

This tea is made for loose stools and frequent small stools, not constipation. It should be stopped if stools become too firm.

• Agrimony: A classic astringent herb traditionally used to tone loose tissues, reduce excess fluid, and support firmer stools.
• Raspberry Leaf: Traditionally used as a toning and astringent herb to support tissue tone and digestive stability.
• Shepherd’s Purse: A strong traditional astringent herb used when the body needs help reducing excess flow or discharge.
• Chamomile: Helps calm digestive tension, cramping, nervous digestion, and intestinal irritation.
• Fennel Seed: Traditionally used to ease gas, bloating, abdominal pressure, and digestive discomfort.
• Slippery Elm Bark: A soothing demulcent herb that coats and protects irritated tissues in the digestive tract.
• Sage: Traditionally used as an astringent and drying herb to support the formula’s firming direction.

Agrimony, Raspberry Leaf, Shepherd’s Purse, and Sage help firm and tone; Slippery Elm, Chamomile, and Fennel help soothe, calm, and settle the digestive tract.

Preparation:

• Use 1–2 teaspoons of loose-leaf tea per cup
• Pour freshly boiled water over the herbs
• Cover and steep for 15–20 minutes or longer for a stronger brew
• Strain before drinking if desired
• Drink warm or at room temperature

Suggested use: Best taken at night before bed. It may also be taken during the day as needed. This tea may take a few hours to help, so allow time for the herbs to work.
Important: Reduce use as stools become more formed. Stop using if constipation develops.
Note: May also help reduce frequent urination, especially at night, due to the astringent and toning nature of the herbs.

Do not use this tea when constipated. Since the formula is astringent and firming, it should be reduced as loose stools improve and stopped if the bowels become too dry, firm, or difficult to pass.

This tea is better not taken during menstruation because the astringent herbs may reduce menstrual flow. Women with already light flow should be especially cautious.

Dietary guidelines: Add more fiber with meals, especially from whole grains and simple cooked foods. When stools are very loose, plain white rice can be helpful for firming the bowels until the condition improves.

Avoid hot spicy foods, chili, heavy fried foods, coffee, chocolate, nightshades, and other foods that may aggravate heat or inflammation in the colon. Meals should be mild, simple, and easier to digest until the bowels become more stable.

Hydration is important when stools are loose. Coconut water and other gentle hydrating drinks may help prevent dehydration, especially when stools are watery or frequent.
