Let me introduce you to one of my favorite daily rituals for digestive balance: the Gut Sweep. As a health coach at OWL, I often find myself recommending this to clients as an ally for the 4-day Reset, as it pairs beautifully with the mylkshakes and broth and ensures smooth digestion and elimination - one of the most critical pillars of our health!
Think of these little capsules as a gentle broom for your insides - sweeping out stagnation, clearing buildup - leaving you feeling lighter, clearer, and more energized. I love the Gut Sweep because it isn’t harsh or extreme. It’s about daily support, nourishment, and tuning your gut back into its natural rhythm.
The Formulation
As an herbalist, I genuinely love this formula and think it’s brilliant for most constitutions. It is clear that every herb and fiber in this blend was chosen with intention:
- Slippery elm: demulcent and soothing; forms a protective mucilage that calms irritation in the digestive tract.
- Marshmallow root: deeply cooling and moistening; coats tissues, alleviates dryness, and restores suppleness.
- Aloe vera: bitter, cooling, and anti-inflammatory; supports elimination, reduces excess heat, and encourages gentle flow.
Together, these three herbal allies create a synergy that’s cleansing AND restorative to the gut and gut lining.
Doshas + Energetics
Ayurvedically, the Gut Sweep is gentle enough to be used with all three doshas, harmonizing most constitutions. This makes it nearly foolproof to share with any health coaching clients who are experiencing digestive upset and lack of regularity in their bowel movements.
For each dosha:
- Pitta: I find Gut Sweep especially helpful for folks with Pitta imbalance, because it gently cools excess heat, moderates acidity, and restores clarity to the digestive fire.
- Vata: The formula is helpful for Vata because the formula moistens and grounds the tissues, easing dryness while supporting regular rhythm and flow.
- Kapha: Gut Sweep clears heaviness, and rekindles movement where there is sluggishness, great for a stagnant, Kapha gut.
The Gut Sweep works by restoring flow where there is stagnation, balance where there is excess, and softness where there is depletion.
This blend has become a trusted ally in my own daily rhythms - it lives in my medicine cabinet, travels with me wherever I go, and is often something I share with friends when their digestion feels off (like they ate something a BITTTT too spicy). I love the Gut Sweep’s gentleness: it doesn’t force or overwhelm, but instead offers steady, reliable support. In the Ayurvedic tradition, the Gut Sweep helps clear ama (toxins) while rekindling agni (digestive fire), creating conditions for smoother digestion and renewed vitality. Over time, this translates to less bloating, more regularity, and a deeper sense of grounded presence. To me, it feels like a reset button for the gut - restoring balance without stress or strain.
The Gut Sweep is especially supportive for those moments when digestion feels sluggish, heavy, or out of sync. I often recommend it for clients who are resetting after travel, stress, or burnout, when the gut needs both steadiness and restoration. It’s a gentle remedy for sensitive systems that long for regularity without the harshness of conventional cleanses, and it meets the needs of modern bodies navigating busy schedules, stress, and inflammatory tendencies. In essence, it’s an Ayurvedic companion for the contemporary gut - supportive, balancing, and deeply restorative.
