Because of the sensitive nature of the digestive system in children, it is common for kids to have digestive upsets that lead to their bowels being occasionally either loose or not moving. When the bowels are not moving, it is helpful to relieve the stagnation of food and stool without excess moistening or over-stimulation of the bowel. Easy Going supports digestion as well as eliminating Qi stagnation. Easy Going is a modification of Tummy Tamer that, in addition to eliminating food stagnation and accumulation, unbinds the Qi of the Intestines. It is a salutary aid for occasional childhood irregularity that may arise from a variety of circumstances including improper diet, travel and the challenge of adapting to a new environment or daily schedule. RATIONALE Easy Going is similar to Tummy Tamer, but with the addition of Flax seed and Chinese rhubarb rhizome and root, lubricates and supports healthy intestinal peristalsis to overcome the occasional retention of food and feces. In this formula, Chinese rhubarb rhizome and root is supported and complemented by the Tummy Tamer ingredients Chinese hawthorn fruit, Tangerine dried rind of mature fruit, Radish seed, dry fried Bitter orange mature fruit, Saussurea root and Perilla leaf which aid the digestion of proteins, fats and starches by toning and activating the Stomach and Small Intestine, while dispersing and descending the Stomach Qi, thus supporting the proper movement of digestate through the gut. In addition, Perilla leaf and Forsythia fruit dispel the Heat and Dampness that collect in the Stomach and Intestines due to food accumulation, as well as expelling external invasions of Wind, Cold, Dampness and Heat that can cause occasional gastrointestinal distress. And, as in Tummy Tamer, White atractylodes rhizome, Patchouli herb, Poria and Chinese licorice root and rhizome strengthen the Spleen, eliminate Dampness and support assimilation of nutrients. Chinese amomum fruit, Tangerine dried rind of mature fruit, Perilla leaf, Saussurea root and Radish seed warm the Qi of the Stomach and Spleen, dispel Phlegm and counter reflux Qi.
