Why are herbal teas good for digestion?

It’s important to note herbal and green teas aren’t a cure for digestive conditions and shouldn’t be used as substitutions for medications. However drinking organic flavourful infusions can be an effective and natural way to help soothe common digestive symptoms like stomach cramps, bloating and inflammation.

The magic is within the natural compounds found in herbal and green teas such as polyphenols and antioxidants, known to have several benefits for a healthy digestive system. At Teabury, we take a natural organic approach from the selection of our teas to the blending process, essentially keeping the goodness of compounds in. We also ensure any additional ingredients added are organic and natural, staying far away from artificial additives.

Now let’s take a look at some of the best herbal and green teas for digestion.

Liquorice root

Liquorice goes back a long time. It’s one of the oldest herbal remedies around and it’s still widely used for its health benefits.

Liquorice root is a great choice for those guilty of adding many teaspoons of sugar in their normal tea. It has a natural sweetness of its own to help curve the craving without the need for any added sugars or sweeteners. It’s important to note liquorice root should be consumed in moderation as too much can lead to adverse health effects.

We recommend our ‘Organic Menopause Relief Tea’ which is blended with organic liquorice root.
