Our digestive system is made up of important organs that help us to convert the foods we consume into nutrients by breaking them down, so they are small enough to be absorbed by our body. These nutrients are then used to convert into energy, assist in growth and development, and to repair damaged cells. When our digestive system is not functioning properly, it disrupts the above process, leaving our bodies prone to gastrointestinal issues such as irregular bowel, stomach discomfort, bloating, pain, food intolerances, and a weakened immune system. With digestive problems becoming increasingly common nowadays, it does not only affect how our body functions, but can lead us to feelings of unhappiness and embarrassment. There are many underlying causes for digestive problems, so if you are experiencing issues, it is always best to consult your doctor for a proper diagnosis to find the exact cause of yours.
As someone who experiences digestive discomfort, I know all too well of the struggle and frustration it can cause. When certain foods suddenly trigger an upset, or when you are out in public and need to find a nearby toilet- pronto! It can be really difficult, and at times can seem inconsistent, especially when foods that used to feel okay for you, are now causing you stomach pain. When we experience these feelings, it is our body warning us that something is not right, and to direct our focus on looking after our gut health. With numerous products available, finding one that works for you may take time. Hence during this process, I recommend drinking any one of the digestive health teas that I am about to mention below.
Drinking tea works wonders for our everyday health, ranging from maintaining our overall general health, to aiding in specific problems. In this case, our digestive health can benefit from tea, easing the discomfort and reducing symptoms. Plus, with its delicious taste and calming properties, you are bound to feel brighter. I find the following teas help to make me feel lighter and ease my digestive matters, resulting in a happier tummy. Read on to find out how they work!
Rosemallow Tea
Our Rosemallow Tea is made from the healing marshmallow flower known for its use in herbal medicine, alongside rose buds which have also played an important role in traditional medicine. Marshmallow flower aids in soothing the stomach lining, protecting our gut from stomach ulcers. It also relieves symptoms of heartburn, softening the burning sensation caused from stomach acid. Rose buds too, have a variety of health benefits, one of these being good for our digestive health. Thanks to their ability to increase the bile production from our liver, rose buds aid our bodies to digest food easier, resulting in reduced constipation and bloating, and improved nutrient absorption. The natural compounds found in rose buds act as a mild laxative and diuretic, which help to eliminate toxins from our body. Combined, these two ingredients in our Rosemallow Tea team up to soothe our digestive system and aid in its restoration.
Winter Tea
If you take a peek at the ingredients in our Winter Tea, you will find that every one of our ingredients plays a role in maintaining a healthy digestive system. And what makes Winter Tea the perfect choice for your stomach is how each and every ingredient is either a flower, root, spice, fruit, or herb- making it natural and gentle on your stomach. With over 10 different ingredients per tea bag, including the likes of linden flower, ginger root, cardamom, clove, and chamomile, both you and your stomach can take comfort that you are in the right hands. Boasting benefits such as relaxing your digestive system to treat excess gas, indigestion, gastric irritability, diarrhea, and intestinal spasms, whilst increasing the rate at which the food exits the stomach, encouraging efficient digestion. This is what makes this powerful herbal concoction the perfect treatment for your tummy troubles.
Imperial Longjing Green Tea
There is rarely any list that does not contain green tea when it comes to matters of the health. So, when we mention that the polyphenols found in green tea are actually good for restoring the good bacteria in our stomach, we do not hesitate to agree with that statement. This restoration process works by stimulating the growth of specific bacteria that is good for our gut health, whilst obstructing the development of those that are not so good. Building up our healthy gut microbiome, helps to make us more regular, boosts our immune system, and reduces inflammation. Our Imperial Longing Green Tea contains the antioxidant ECGC which has anti-inflammatory properties that can aid with inflammation of the gut, especially in those with Irritable Bowel Disease. By reducing stomach inflammation, the compounds in Longjing green tea help to soothe the stomach lining- breaking down food more easily, reducing discomfort, and increasing the absorption of nutrients in the digestive system. As a bonus, the high antioxidant content boosts metabolism which can promote weight loss. Overall, Imperial Longjing Green Tea works wonders for those who experience stomach inflammation and discomfort, and would like to give their gut health a boost.
