If your digestion is often in a state of disorder, it’s important to be aware of the natural ways you can use to improve it.
Instead of taking medication, try the following herbs first.
Ginger
Ginger has been used for centuries to aid digestion and research shows that it is also very effective against nausea, vomiting and nausea. In addition, unlike other medicines prescribed for such conditions, it has no side effects, such as drowsiness. Whenever possible, add fresh ginger to your food, but you can also make tea with it.
Chamomile
Chamomile is one of the “safest” herbs, it is an effective anti-inflammatory and antispasmodic, so it is also very good for the digestive system. It can be used to treat bloating, stomach cramps, heartburn and nausea, and it’s also a great stress reliever.
Dandelion
Research has shown that the leaves and roots of dandelion are very healthy for the digestive system and also stimulate the appetite. It also stimulates the production of stomach acid and bile, thus aiding digestion. It also contains substances that help detoxify the liver. Dandelions can be made into tea or mixed into salads.
Peppermint
One study found that patients with IBS (irritable bowel syndrome) who started taking peppermint oil capsules regularly had a 40 per cent reduction in abdominal pain and a 50 per cent reduction in bloating. And a German study reports that peppermint can be an effective aid for people with chronic digestive problems. It can be made into a tea or taken in capsule form.
Lemongrass
Lemongrass has also long been used to improve digestion, and because it is high in antioxidants, it can help relieve bloating, wind cramps and stomach aches. Those who are prone to these problems should drink lemongrass tea on a daily basis: the effects will be felt within a short time.
