In bio-architectural terms, stagnation is a lack of kinetic flow. When you consume dense calories (fats/proteins), the digestive system requires immense energy to process them. If your metabolic "engine" is idling or cold, the food sits. This creates fermentation (gas), pressure (bloating), and a resource drain (lethargy). Digestapeel acts as a catalyst to restart the kinetic chain.

Ancient systems understood that the Heart and the Gut are linked. Hawthorn is the bridge. By improving the breakdown of fats in the gut, we reduce the lipid load in the blood. By tonifying the blood vessels, we ensure that the nutrients absorbed by the gut are efficiently transported. It is a closed-loop optimization of the fuel supply chain.

We use "Chen Pi" (Aged Tangerine Peel), not fresh peel. The aging process is a form of alchemy. Over time, the chaotic, harsh oils in fresh peel transform into potent, smooth, aromatic compounds that are far more effective at "Descending Qi" (moving digestion downward) without irritating the system. This is time-released potency.

This is a question of Engineering. Tummy Tonic is Thermal; it adds Heat to a cold, sluggish system. Digestapeel is Kinetic; it adds Movement to a stuck, full, or heavy system. If you feel "cold," use Tummy Tonic. If you feel "stuffed," use Digestapeel.

The amount of alcohol in a dose is negligible (less than a ripe banana). However, its function is critical. It acts as the solvent to carry the essential oils and flavonoids into your system rapidly. It is the delivery vehicle, not the payload.

You can, especially to support circulation. However, because it activates digestive juices (bile/acid), it is functionally optimized to be taken with or around food.
