Digestive Tract and Gall bladder aid
Kolesist is our gall bladder formula used for the following purposes:
• to treat indigestion, gas, bloating and cramping associated with eating, especially fatty, rich, foods
• for sluggish bile and gallbladder congestion
• to treat symptoms associated with gall stones, inflamed gallbladder, and (chronic) gall bladder attacks
The ingredients in Koesist have years of traditional use behind them and confirmed by modern clinical studies to be effective for promoting health of the gall bladder.
St. Francis Herb Farm®’s Kolesist has been specially formulated for health problems of the digestive tract and gall bladder. Kolesist helps to stimulate the flow of bile, thereby relieving congestion in the gallbladder. Bile can become supersaturated with cholesterol. Once this happens, gallstones often begin to form, cholesterol being the primary component of gallstones. This combination also serves to counter gallbladder colic, more commonly known as gallbladder attacks, often associated with the passage of gallstones.
This synergistic combination is built around barberry as the principal ingredient. The bile-stimulating (choleretic) functions of barberry and dandelion are supported by the antispasmodic effects of wild yam and peppermint, the demulcent properties of marshmallow, and the antiinflammatory properties of turmeric. These herbs have many positive effects on the gall bladder, overlapping each other in their several actions, working together to relieve gall bladder problems and to improve the digestion, especially of fatty foods.
Combinations to consider: Those suffering from sluggish bowels and constipation (one sign of compromised gallbladder function) should consider Kolesist in conjunction with BulkLax™ and/or CascaraLax™. If there is liver inflammation, use in conjunction with Hepato DR™.
Administration: (adults) take 1-2 ml (30-60 drops) three to six times daily in a little water after meals or as needed.
Contra-indications and Cautions: Consult a health care practitioner prior to use if you are taking prescription medications or have been diagnosed with a medical condition.

Do not take if allergic to the Asteraceae or Umbelliferae family of plants. Do not use if you have blockage of the bile ducts, acute gall bladder inflammation or intestinal blockage. Reduce dosage or discontinue use if you experience a hypersensitivity reaction or diarrhoea.
Available in bottle sizes of 50ml, 100ml, and 250ml.
A NOTE ON TINCTURES
Tinctures are more readily absorbed by the body and have a high degree of bio-availability. As well, they have a long shelf life.
Sometimes people ask us why tinctures are alcohol-based. There are very good reasons. Alcohol is critically important in the extraction of an herb's medicinal ingredients. It also helps to stabilize and preserve them. Alcohol is the ideal carrier substance, conveying the therapeutic goodness of the herb to the body. In itself, too, science has proven that alcohol enhances the immune system and its defences.
As for the amount of alcohol taken in an average dose of tincture, you'll be surprised to learn that it's about the same as what you'd find in an overly ripe banana!
Tinctures remain the most practical way to take advantage of the amazing, health-giving power of herbs.

Testimonials
My patients have experienced such dramatic results from your products...
“I have been in practice since 1991, and I believe that I have been a customer of St. Francis Herb Farm for that long as well. My patients have experienced such dramatic results from your products, that I have never had a reason to even consider another supplier for tinctures. I wouldn’t even know where to begin in choosing a particular favorite product.
Your Ear Oil worked `on contact’ with my patients, which includes my own children. Your Oregano Oil out-performs antibiotics on resistant infections. Your Calendula Cream works as good as cortisone. Most of all, I regularly experience success with your various tinctures with my cancer patients (my special area of interest).
When products are high quality, patients get results, and that makes me a very happy naturopath.
Thank you.”
