Organic herbal tea can help out greatly in creating a better digestive system, before or after we eat if we drink some herbal tea, then our digestion can absorb our food better.
There are many different kinds of herbal teas out there for use and some of the best ones for our digestion I have listed below with some recopies on how to make them.
It is not recommended to make organic herbal tea with any sweeteners if we are trying to strengthen our immune system or ward off colds and flu. Sugars and sweeteners usually weaken our immune system, so we must be careful when using sweeteners in anything, especially white sugar.
If you need some kind of sweetener I would suggest either Honey or Agave for sweetening. Both these sweeteners are very healthy and have good affects on our bodies.
Ginger tea is one of the best herbal teas for strengthening the digestion. Hot ginger tea is an excellent winter drink. It will keep you warm and cozy. Use it to strengthen the digestion, improve circulation and ward off colds, sore throat and the flu.
Making Ginger tea is very simple.
Recipe
Hot Water and fresh shredded ginger.
Take 4 cups of water a 2 inch piece of fresh ginger root and if you want it sweet or tangy you can add honey and lemon peel after the tea has brewed.
Slice the gingers root into thin slices. Bring the water to a boil in a saucepan. Once it is boiling, add the ginger. Cover the pot and reduce the heat to a simmer for 15-20 minutes. Strain the tea. Add honey and lemon for a sweet or tangy taste.
Chamomile Tea is great for digestive upset, flatulence, heartburn, muscle tension, diarrhea, anxiety and insomnia. Chamomile tea is also good for menstrual cramps, irritable bowel syndrome, tension headaches and restlessness.
Chamomile tea is a great digestive helper.
Recipe
Hot Water and dried chamomile.
Take the dried chamomile and put one level teaspoon of the herb into a ceramic cup. After the water boils in a kettle or pot, pour hot water into the cup and cover for five minutes to let steep.
You can drink the tea as it is or you can strain it into another cup, use only ceramic, enamel or stainless steel pots or kettles when brewing the tea.
Peppermint Tea is a great blend to ease your stomach. Peppermint calms the muscles of the stomach and improves the flow of bile, which the body uses to digest fats. Food then passes through the stomach more quickly. Peppermint is a calming agent to soothe an upset stomach or to aid in digestion.
It has been used to treat headaches, skin irritations, anxiety associated with depression, nausea, diarrhea, menstrual cramps and flatulence. It is also widely used to treat symptoms of the common cold.
If your symptoms of indigestion are related to a condition called gastroesophageal reflux disease or GERD, peppermint should not be used.
Peppermint tea can ease tummy discomfort very easily.
Recipe
Hot Water and dried Peppermint leaves.
Take a kettle or small pot and bring one cup of water to a boil, then turn off. Take the Peppermint leaves and put one half a tablespoon of the herb into the small pot or kettle and let set for 5 to 10 minutes.
After the organic herbal tea is finished, strain and drink it as it is or add sugar or honey for sweetener. The tea can be made from fresh leaves or dried leaves.
