Digestion is one of those things you don't think about until it's off. Bloating, cramping, that heavy feeling after a meal, sluggish mornings — most of it comes down to the same root causes: sluggish gut motility, too much gas, not enough bile flow, inflammation in the digestive tract.
This blend addresses all of that with six herbs that have been used in digestive medicine for centuries — not because they're trendy, but because they work.
What's in it and why:
-
Ginger Root — stimulates digestive enzymes, reduces nausea, and speeds gastric emptying; the foundation of almost every traditional digestive blend
-
Peppermint Leaf — relaxes the smooth muscle of the GI tract; particularly effective for IBS-type cramping and bloating
-
Fennel Seed — carminative (gas-relieving) and antispasmodic; one of the oldest digestive remedies in European and Ayurvedic medicine
-
Dandelion Root — bitter tonic that stimulates bile production and liver function; helps break down fats and move things through
-
Licorice Root — soothes and coats the digestive lining; anti-inflammatory and mildly sweet, which rounds out the flavor of the blend
-
Cumin Seed — warming and carminative; used across cultures for bloating, gas, and sluggish digestion
How to brew: Steep 1 tablespoon in 8 oz of hot water for 7–10 minutes. Best taken 15–20 minutes after a meal or when digestive discomfort sets in. Caffeine-free.
