Digestion is the breakdown of complex foods into simpler substances, including nutrients, so that they can pass into the bloodstream, thus providing the body with energy. Assimilation is the process whereby the products of digestion are absorbed by body tissues. Good digestion is essential to good health. Improper digestion means the body isn't getting the nutrients it needs and it also leads to a buildup of toxins. Improper digestion affects mental functions and the muscles, which in turn can lead to physical and emotional problems.

Some signs of good digestion include feeling satisfied after meals with no cravings, feeling alert and clear-headed after eating rather than lethargic or spaced out, and having a pleasant taste in your mouth. Some signs of indigestion include discomfort in the stomach and intestines, belching and flatulence, foul taste in the mouth and offensive breath, difficult bowel movements and urination, fatigue, irritability and unclear mind after meals, uncontrollable cravings and nausea.

Besides the signs of indigestion, common ailments associated with digestive problems include constipation, diarrhea, gastritis, indigestion and acidity, nausea and vomiting, and irritable bowel syndrome. Constipation may be associated with poor diet, slow digestion, lack of muscle tone, or nervous tension. Gastritis, inflammation of the stomach lining, may be due to one's diet. Indigestion and acidity are usually due to eating too much, too quickly, missing meals, or anxiety.

To create a formulation that helps ensure proper digestion, besides herbs that work with the digestive system, it is also important that the herbs work with the nervous system to stimulate acid or enzyme production and gut motions. Digestion Booster contains many herbs that are stomachics which stimulate the action of the stomach. There are also many herbs that relieve nausea and vomiting, as well as many herbs that are digestives that help break down the food. In addition, there are also many energy tonics to ensure that once assimilated, the energy delivered to the body is strong.
