Nobody likes the feeling of being bloated or uncomfortable. Sometimes eating certain foods cause it, but sometimes it is just a feeling we get when we are run down and not as healthy as we would like. Sometimes herbal teas have what we need to help us get rid of bloating and that uncomfortable sensation in our gut. Give these a try and see if this might help you if you struggle with bloating.
Peppermint
Peppermint is widely recognized for helping soothe digestive issues. It has a cool flavor. The flavonoids found in peppermint may inhibit activity in mast cells. These are immune cells abundant in the gut and may contribute to bloating. Peppermint relaxes the gut which may relieve bloating and pain associated with it.
Lemon Balm
Lemon balm tea has a lemony scent and flavor. Along with hints of mint, this comes from the mint family and helps with digestive issues, including bloating and gas. This product may decrease abdominal pain and constipation, which can cause bloating. It has not been tested for digestive issues in people.
Wormwood
Wormwood is a leafy, green herb that makes tea bitter. It is not easy to use but lemon juice and honey make it easier to digest. One gram capsules of dried wormwood may prevent or relieve indigestion or discomfort in your upper abdomen.
Ginger
Most people know about or have heard of ginger. Ginger tea is made from the thick roots of Zingiber officinale, a plant that has been used for stomach-related ailments since ancient times. Human studies suggest taking 1-1.5 grams of ginger per day to relieve nausea. Supplements may speed up stomach emptying, relieve digestive upset, and reduce cramping and bloating.
Herbal teas are traditional medicine that may reduce abdominal bloating and relieve digestive upset. If you are thinking about trying herbal supplements or foods, remember to check with your doctor first to think about what you would like to do and make sure it doesn’t interact with other medications.
