Gut Mend Tea
These days, I see a lot of guts that need mending, including mine. So many modern foods and lifestyle practices can lead to gut dysbiosis and leaky gut. The herbs in this tea blend help with irritation, soothe, help digestion function, and promote the integrity and repair of the gut lining.
Soothing, demulcent, and vulnerary herbs help with digestive stress, acid reflux, ulcers, leaky gut, gas, bloating, and more.
When you drink tea, it comes into direct contact with the gastrointestinal lining.
Vulnerary herbs such as gotu kola, calendula, and plantain help to speed up mending processing and improve the integrity of the gut lining.
The demulcent herb marshmallow root in this formula helps to soothe and coat irritated, damaged, and inflamed guts. The mucilage helps to form a mucus-like barrier on the gut to help it repair. Mucalige also feeds the gut flora.
The tea is absolutely delicious, even without honey to sweeten it! I enjoy drinking it at night. It's soothing for acid reflux or after-dinner indigestion. The demulcent herbs are also anti-inflammatory for soothing the gut.
Marshmallow root is rich in mucopolysaccharides, which are soothing and sealing and help feed the beneficial bacteria in the gut.
Calendula is a soothing, vulnerary, anti-inflammatory.
Plantain is demulcent, vulnerary, astringent, and anti-microbial.
Gotu kola improves the integrity of connective tissue and blood. Its cooling and anti-inflammatory properties help to heal the damaged intestinal lining. Some studies show that it can help prevent and treat harmful lesions (ulcers) by strengthening the intestinal barrier.
Fennel is gentle and soothing, helping with digestive issues like pain, gas, and bloating.
