I’m talking about indigestion. Yes, it’s a real pain. Every morning, you wish to go to the loo and freshen up but you don’t really feel the pressure that should be there. Digestion is such a crucial function of our bodies. And sensitive too. Proper digestion helps you stay active and healthy.
But, do you really take care of it? In today’s busy lifestyle, all we care about is having fast food at instagrammable restaurants.
But an upset stomach can put a hold to your everyday life. The growls and aches can ruin the day for you. Relying on chemicals will only make your stomach weak and dependent.
Here are a few herbs that can help you with your digestion problems.
Fennel
A perennial herb native to Europe and the Mediterranean. The Greeks have always known about its benefits for relieving constipation and gastrointestinal problems and used it in their cooking. Fenchone, a bioactive found in fennel, helps reducing intestinal and stomach gas. It is a crucial element, which aids in colon cleansing.
Chewing fennel seeds after every meal is a common practice in India due to its properties that help in better digestion with the secretion of digestive juices.
Peppermint
A strong aromatic perennial herb with a cooling aftertaste. It’s a hybrid (watermint + spearmint) cultivated in Europe, Asia, and North America. Its antimicrobial properties help freshen bad breath and soothe digestive issues. It’s also used as a culinary herb.
The naturally occurring compounds in peppermint relieve gas, bloating, and discomfort. Not to mention it is really tasty!
Chamomile
The antispasmodic properties of Chamomile help relax the smooth muscles of the intestines and the stomach. According to the University of Maryland Medical Center, pour 1 cup of boiling water over up to 4 g of dried chamomile herb and steep for 15 minutes. You can drink chamomile tea as a digestive aid up to four times per day between meals, as needed.
It relaxes the nervous system, which, in turn, eases the sudden pain in the intestine and the stomach.
