Microgard provides next-level botanical treatment for gut dysbiosis and a healthy microbiome.

When is Microgard an appropriate formula to use?

Microgard is great for “traveler’s sickness” and is an essential component of first aid travel kits. The macrobiome of our regular environment completely changes when we travel. Being unaccustomed to local food and drink can easily shift our gut microbiome into distress. While not replacing necessary water and food sanitation guidelines for preventing microbial infection, Microgard can nonetheless prevent and treat many common digestive upsets on the road of life, thereby allowing us more ease in blending with our hosts!

Food allergies and food sensitivities are frequently due to erosion of the epithelial lining of the GI tract with loss of healthy gap junctions. This is the “leaky gut syndrome” those with gut problems quickly learn about when researching their condition. A specific herb in Microgard, Radix Pueraria, has been shown to help heal these gap junctions, contributing to the benefit of the formula as a whole.

Mood disorders like anxiety and depression can benefit from this formula. Gut bacteria produce more dopamine and serotonin than the brain. This explains why “phlegm misting the shen (mind)” is a common TCM diagnosis in these disorders. Once the gut dysfunction is corrected, the tendency of becoming anxious and depressed is reduced. We may notice a clarity and lightness to our thoughts and feelings where foggy brain and muddled thinking, or “doom and gloom”. once predominated.

Certain types of chronic pain and chronic fatigue patterns are accompanied by weight gain, foggy brain, anxiety and depression, fluid retention, heavy, achy, and sore sensations in the body. This is often correlated with fluid retention, and “phlegm” conditions clouding the senses and disrupting neural signaling patterns in the body.
