Herbs and spices can support digestion and nutrient absorption, while helping the intestines break down food effectively.
Many herbs have powerful properties that balance the gut microbiome, heal the gut lining, and fight inflammation.
Taking these herbs regularly helps improve our gut naturally. These herbs also don’t have any side effects and are very inexpensive. You should take them regularly; after several times, you will see the magic of how they work.
Here are some herbs that are helpful in digestion:
Ginger:
Cooking it as a spice will not benefit you. But if taken properly like medicine, it will not only cure stomach problems and indigestion but also more than 100 other diseases. It produces a type of digestive juice in the stomach that improves digestion. Ginger also contains many nutrients that help break down proteins. Ginger removes all types of stomach problems. But for that, you have to eat raw ginger (not cooked or boiled), about an inch in the morning on an empty stomach. Then drink a glass of warm water. In this way, the food will be digested quickly and all kinds of stomach problems will disappear. If you cannot eat raw ginger, you can eat it with salt. After eating it for some days, you can eat it normally. You can also eat ginger with tea or blend it to make juice and drink it, but raw ginger is very beneficial. When you feel uncomfortable in digestion, then chew a piece of raw ginger. You need to develop a habit of taking these natural herbs to lead a healthy life. When you eat raw ginger, it cools your stomach significantly. If you ever feel like vomiting, you should try this. If you have a loss of appetite, try eating raw ginger; your problem will be solved.
Milk:
Drink a glass of cold (normal temperature) milk one hour before going to bed at night. Warm milk can also be drunk. However, medium or hot milk should not be consumed. One glass of milk at normal temperature is very beneficial for curing acidity (gastric acidity). However, individuals with a milk allergy cannot tolerate milk, so be aware of this. If you have this problem, you can try drinking a small amount of milk; over time, some people become tolerant to it and may benefit from this treatment. Ensure that you consume milk from cow or goat; powdered milk does not work well for digestion. Do not add sugar to the milk.
Cardamom:
It enhances digestive power. Chew a cardamom seed well and drink a glass of warm water before going to bed at night. The above rules can be followed before breakfast or lunch. It also benefits our heart. When you have symptoms of a cold, you can eat cardamom. Make a habit of carrying some pieces of cardamom in your pocket and chew on them. This helps digest our food properly. When your food is digested properly, you feel good all day. If you cannot eat raw cardamom, you can make cardamom tea by boiling cardamom with tea leaves and then drinking it. You can also buy cardamom powder from the market. Cardamom can relieve acidity. It is better to eat cardamom instead of taking gastric tablets because gastric tablets are very harmful to us. Therefore, make it a practice to eat cardamom regularly.
Cinnamon:
Cinnamon contains antibacterial properties that are very beneficial for digestion. Mix half a teaspoon of cinnamon powder in a glass of water and boil it. Once the water is reduced by half, strain it and drink it 2 to 3 times a day (morning, noon, night), 30 minutes to 1 hour before meals. You can also consume cinnamon raw or find it in powder form in the market. Cinnamon contains probiotics which help reduce digestive problems. Those who suffer from stomach pain can drink 2 to 3 cups of cinnamon tea per day, which can alleviate stomach pain by removing harmful bacteria from our gut.
Clove:
It contains all the ingredients that can increase the digestion capacity manifold. Chew 1-2 cloves well and drink 1 glass of warm water at night before sleeping. In the morning or after lunch, chew cloves and drink 1 glass of warm water. Then acidity, indigestion, gas problems, and nausea will be permanently removed from the body. Drinking clove tea regularly can also improve gut health. Clove tea improves our enzymes in digestion. Cloves can remove bad smell from your mouth and help with breathing well.
So these herbs are so beneficial for our gut health. We should eat these herbs regularly to improve our gut health. When you start to eat these herbs, you will see results.
