Lower Bowel Formula — Christopher’s Original
Christopher’s Lower Bowel Formula is a classic multi-herb capsule formula developed by the late American herbalist Dr. John R. Christopher, one of the most influential figures in 20th century Western herbal medicine. It has been used in traditional herbal practice for decades as a digestive and bowel wellness formula.
A healthy digestive system relies on adequate fibre, hydration, and regular bowel motility. This formula combines nine traditional herbs with a long collective history of use in Western herbal medicine for digestive and eliminative wellness.
