Because stress, summer snacking, and spicy takeout are all a thing
Let’s be real.
Nobody wants to talk about bloating, bubble guts, or that mysterious upper-left-side ache that shows up after margarita night. But we all deal with it—and herbs are absolute rockstars when it comes to digestive drama.
Whether you’re feeling gassy, crampy, sluggish, or like your body is just saying “nope” to food in general, this post is for you.
What’s Messing With Your Gut?
Digestive issues aren’t just about food. Stress, heat, hormones, and emotional overwhelm all show up in your belly first.
And when your gut’s off, your mood, energy, and even your skin can get dragged down with it.
So instead of fighting your body or pretending you’re fine while holding your pants together with a hair tie… let’s grab some herbs that actually help.
Top 5 Herbs for Digestive Support
Peppermint
Cooling, calming, and carminative (a fancy word for "helps with gas").
Perfect for when your stomach is crampy, you feel bloated, or you're nauseated from one too many parking lot iced coffees.
-
How to work with it: Tea, tincture, or even just sniffing the essential oil.
Calendula
This sunny flower helps tone and soothe the digestive tract, especially the gut lining.
It’s your BFF if you deal with gut inflammation, leaky gut, or post-antibiotic recovery.
-
How to work with it: Tea or tincture (it’s super gentle and great in blends).
Plantain
Not the fried kind—this wild herb is a mucilaginous miracle worker. It helps calm irritation and draw out toxins.
-
How to work with it: Infuse in tea or steep in cold water for gut-soothing goodness.
Fennel Seed
Say goodbye to gurgles and hello to sweet relief. Fennel helps with gas, bloating, and sluggish digestion.
-
How to work with it: Chew the seeds after meals or brew a light tea.
Ginger
The spicy queen of digestion. Ginger warms things up, gets things moving, and settles nausea and bloating.
-
How to work with it: Fresh or dried in tea, or tincture if you need a stronger kick.
