Indications
Acid reflux, gastric ulcer, obesity, constipation, piles.
Pharmacology
Aloe indica royle contains anthrone glycosyls and anthraquinones which act as colonic-specific stimulant laxatives, increasing colonic motility and inhibiting water and electrolyte secretion.

Hyoscyamus niger alkaloids provide symptomatic relief from peptic ulcers, IBS, colic and cystitis. Piper nigrum stimulates thermal receptors, increases saliva and gastric mucus secretion, and influences liver metabolic functions.
