Therapy/ Class: Digestive Enzymes along with Natural Antispasmodic & Anti flatulence Oils
Mechanism of Action:
Alpha Amylase: It is an enzyme crucial in carbohydrate digestion. Secreted by salivary glands and the pancreas, it initiates the breakdown of starches and glycogen into simpler sugars like maltose. The enzyme’s active site hydrolyzes the α-1,4-glycosidic linkages in polysaccharides, cleaving interior bonds and producing maltose and maltotriose. This process, known as hydrolysis, facilitates absorption in the small intestine.
Papain: It is a proteolytic enzyme derived from papaya, functions by breaking down proteins into smaller peptides and amino acids through hydrolysis. Its active site contains thiol groups that interact with peptide bonds, leading to their cleavage. The enzyme is highly effective in breaking down various protein structures, facilitating protein digestion in the stomach and aiding nutrient absorption in the small intestine.
Dill oil: It is extracted from the seeds or leaves of the Dill plant, exhibits its therapeutic effects through its chemical constituents, primarily carvone and limonene. It functions as an antispasmodic, helping to relax smooth muscles in the digestive tract, which may alleviate digestive issues such as bloating and indigestion.
Anise oil: It is derived from the Pimpinella anisum plant, exerts its therapeutic effects through its main constituent, anethole. It possesses antispasmodic properties, relaxing smooth muscles in the digestive tract and providing relief from symptoms like bloating and indigestion. Its diverse actions, attributed to its bioactive components, underscore its traditional use in promoting digestive comfort and overall well-being.
Caraway oil: It is derived from Carum carvi seeds, acts through its main constituents like carvone and limonene. With notable carminative properties, it aids digestion by reducing gas formation and easing bloating. Carvone, a key component, contributes to its antispasmodic effects, relaxing smooth muscles in the gastrointestinal tract and alleviating digestive discomfort.
