BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 
1. Field of the Invention 
The present invention relates to ingestible nutritional compositions for 
the elimination of harmful toxin buildup in the body and, more 
particularly, to an herbal composition that cleanses internal organs and 
improves energy, mental clarity and the elimination of waste. 
2. Description of the Related Art 
The use of herbs and plants to treat ailments and generally improve overall 
health has become commonplace. Aloe vera and gotu kola are herbs and 
plants commonly used for such purposes. The benefits of both aloe vera and 
gotu kola are well documented. 
Gotu kola is an herb which is believed to have been used over a thousand 
years ago in India and China. Healers in India used gotu kola to treat 
skin inflammations and as a mild diuretic and in China to treat emotional 
disorders, such as depression, that may be caused by physical problems. It 
has also been used to reduce fevers, to relieve congestion due to colds 
and upper respiratory infections and as a nerve tonic to promote 
relaxation and to enhance memory. 
Recent studies have shown that gotu kola may have a positive effect on the 
circulatory system by strengthening the veins and capillaries, thereby 
improving the flow of blood throughout the body. As such, it has been 
reported that it has been successfully used to treat phlebitis, leg 
cramps, leg swelling and other circulatory related problems in the legs. 
It is believed that its beneficial effect on circulation may help improve 
memory and brain function. 
Applied externally or taken by mouth, aloe vera has been found to be 
effective in treating countless minor ailments. Based on studies of the 
gel found inside the aloe vera leaf, it is believed that aloe vera 
contains more than seventy essential ingredients including many vitamins, 
minerals, enzymes, protein and amino acids. Applied externally, aloe vera 
is known to act as a type of "wound hormone" that accelerates the rate of 
healing of injured surfaces and is typically used to treat ailments, such 
as, burns, psoriasis, eczema, acne, stings, scrapes, abrasions, bruises, 
sore muscles, cold sores, sprains, arthritis, etc. Taken internally, aloe 
vera is believed to be effective in treating such ailments as insomnia, 
infection, indigestion, heartburn, constipation, ulcers, arthritis, etc. 
Constipation, or the infrequent and difficult passage or elimination of 
stool, is a common problem. Millions of people, including both children 
and adults, suffer from this condition. Although it is generally not a 
serious condition, it may be extremely bothersome and may, in fact, be a 
symptom of a more serious underlying disorder. Furthermore, if not treated 
properly, constipation may lead to other complications, such as 
hemorrhoids or fissures. 
In addition to the use of aloe vera, there are several different treatments 
currently used to treat constipation. For many people, it is believed that 
dietary and lifestyle improvements can lessen the chances of constipation. 
For others, simply improving bowel habits, i.e., not ignoring the urge to 
have a bowel movement, can lessen the chances of constipation. Laxatives 
are also widely used for the treatment of constipation. 
Both aloe vera and gotu kola are commonly used, by themselves, for the 
treatment of the ailments discussed above. Furthermore, several 
compositions utilize either aloe vera or gotu kola, in combination with 
other elements, to treat particular ailments. For instance, U.S. Pat. No. 
5,614,224 discloses a nutritional supplement for diabetics which may 
include herbs, such as gotu kola, which may be beneficial in treating the 
causes or symptoms of diabetes. Similarly, U.S. Pat. No. 5,332,579 
discloses a nutritional supplement for optimizing cellular health which 
may include herbs, such as gotu kola. Also, U.S. Pat. No. 5,266,318 
discloses a skin therapeutic mixture containing aloe vera. 
Although aloe vera, gotu kola and their prior art compositions are useful 
for their intended purposes, none has proven to be entirely effective. 
Specifically, the effectiveness of aloe vera in treating constipation has 
not been great and, consequently, has not been a preferred method of doing 
so. Furthermore, the other treatments of constipation discussed above have 
also not proven to be entirely effective. The ability to make diet and 
lifestyle changes often requires great sacrifice and is extremely 
difficult for many people. Similarly, people with poor bowel habits 
typically have such poor habits because of other personality or character 
traits. It is not uncommon for people who are busy at work or who have 
many things to do to ignore the urge to have a bowel movement until they 
have completed what they are doing. Such habits are difficult to break and 
it may be unreasonable to expect them to be broken. Lastly, the use of 
laxatives often pose problems due to misuse and overuse. There are several 
types of laxatives which work in different ways. It is not uncommon for a 
person to purchase the wrong laxative or use it improperly. Also, many 
laxative users become dependant upon them and continually increase the 
dosage until the intestine becomes insensitive and the laxative no longer 
performs its intended function. 
Furthermore, there is presently no known composition which includes both 
aloe vera and gotu kola or other herbs or plants which effectively 
provides the combination of benefits associated with each individually. 
Specifically, there is presently no known ingestible herbal composition 
which effectively eliminates harmful toxin buildup in the body, cleanses 
internal organs and improves energy, mental clarity and the elimination of 
waste. 
Accordingly, there is still a need in the art for an ingestible herbal 
composition which effectively eliminates harmful toxin buildup in the 
body, cleanses internal organs and improves energy, mental clarity and the 
elimination of waste. The present invention is particularly suited to 
overcome those problems which remain in the art in a manner not previously 
known. Not only does the composition of the present invention effectively 
provide the combination of benefits associated with aloe vera and gotu 
kola individually, but in combining aloe vera with gotu kola, the 
beneficial effects previously associated with each individually have been 
found to be enhanced. Specifically, it is believed that the composition of 
the present invention improves energy, mental clarity and the elimination 
of waste in a manner not previously accomplished by aloe vera or gotu kola 
individually.
