The Mover: Many of us suffer from constipation, either occasional or chronic, and are unaware that most systems of natural healing offer potential solutions for long-term healing. According to naturopathic theory, constipation is a sign of other imbalances in the body needing attention. From the naturopathic perspective, resolving constipation patterns requires more than just providing laxative relief and dietary adjustments. It includes gentle, long-term strengthening and balancing of bowel function as well as regulating the liver, which is thought to control intestinal contractions and resolve mucus accumulations.

The Mover includes a number of herbs well known for these actions in traditional folk herbalism, plus those for general strengthening and tonifying of the eliminative organs. Sage and Onion provide preventative action against spasming, an important comfort factor in any laxative or bowel cleansing combination. In the Middle Ages and Renaissance, Sage was popular in Europe for increasing longevity, much as Ginseng has been prized for centuries in Asian cultures. Wahoo is a Native American name for the American Dogwood or Burning Bush, a familiar landscaping plant. It is an integral herb in many indigenous tribal-healing traditions.
