Gut Feeling Herbal Tea

Gut Feeling Herbal Tea

I designed this tea to help people whose digestion is affected by their emotions and nervous system.

Treating nervous and gastrointestinal system, vagal nerve issues, calming vagus nerve, promote digestion

This tea has been specially formulated to support the digestive and nervous systems. We all know of the link between gut health and mental health, and this tea has been designed to act on the vagus nerve to bring the nervous system away from “fight, flight or freeze ” and into “rest and digest”. This tea also works to heal the gut wall lining, works as a prebiotic for cultivating a healthy microbiome – and tastes good!

Chamomile – A soothing herb for both the digestive tract and the mind, it helps to support digestion and is a calming nervine.

Marshmallow root – It has mucilaginous effects and helps to soothe and moisten irritated mucous membranes within the digestive tract and works as food for healthy bacteria.

Nettle – A nutritionally rich plant containing iron, magnesium, calcium, chromium, zinc, potassium as well as being a natural antihistamine. Our digestion is often confused by having too high histamine levels.

Plantain – Is both an astringent and having moistening properties and can be used to balance stomach acid and reduce inflammation in the gut.

Licorice – It helps to soothe an irritated and inflamed digestive tract and acts like a tonic for the nervous system by strengthening and supporting the endocrine system.

Rose – This has a particular affinity for the heart, acting as a calming and soothing nervine, helping to reduce tension and feelings of stress.

Lavender – Another herb that acts directly on both the nervous and digestive system, in part due to the rich essential oil content, which acts as a relaxant for both the nervous system and the digestive tract.
