Gut Healing Tea

• Measure the Tea: For each quart of tea, use two heaping tablespoons of the herbal blend for a more potent infusion.
• Steep the Tea: Place the herbs in a French press or mason jar, and pour boiling water over them. Cover and steep for 10-15 minutes.
• Drink in Quantity: Enjoy at least a quart of this tea throughout the day for optimal results. The blend is gentle enough to be
  consumed in large amounts.

• Plantain (Plantago major): A mucilaginous herb that coats and soothes the mucous membranes of the digestive system, plantain has mild anti-inflammatory and astringent properties. It helps heal damaged tissues and reduces irritation, offering gentle yet effective support for gut health.
• Peppermint (Mentha piperita) : Peppermint’s cooling and calming qualities make it a perfect herb for relieving digestive discomfort, such as gas, bloating, and indigestion. Its antispasmodic properties help relax the muscles of the
  digestive tract, offering relief from symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).
• Chamomile (Matricaria recutita): Chamomile is well-loved for its calming effects on both the nervous system and the digestive system. It reduces inflammation, eases spasms, and helps relieve stress—one of the key contributors to digestive issues. Chamomile is ideal for soothing an upset stomach and supporting restful digestion.
• Ginger (Zingiber officinale): Ginger is a warming herb with potent anti-inflammatory properties that stimulate digestion and improve circulation in the gut. It helps reduce nausea, improve gut motility, and ease indigestion while enhancing nutrient absorption.
• Fennel (Foeniculum vulgare): Fennel is a carminative herb that helps reduce gas and bloating while soothing inflammation in the digestive tract. It supports smooth digestion and relieves discomfort associated with digestive disorders.
• Licorice (Glycyrrhiza glabra) – Licorice root is a powerful adaptogen and demulcent, meaning it
  helps soothe and protect the gut’s mucous membranes. With anti-inflammatory properties, it promotes healing of the gut lining and reduces symptoms of leaky gut. Licorice has a natural sweetness, so only a small amount is needed to balance the flavor of this blend.

This nourishing
tea works on multiple levels to promote healing and soothe the digestive system:

• Soothes Inflammation: Calendula, chamomile, and plantain reduce inflammation and support the healing of damaged gut tissue.
• Aids Digestion: Ginger and peppermint stimulate digestion, while fennel helps ease bloating and discomfort.
• Repairs the Gut Lining: Licorice and plantain help coat and protect the gut lining, promoting repair and preventing further irritation.

By incorporating this gut-soothing tea into your daily routine, you’ll be providing your digestive system with the natural support it needs for long-term healing, balance, and vitality.
