always bloated ? start your day feeling flat but look 9 months pregnant by the end of the day? feel like you’re constantly reacting to new foods or nervous to go out to dinner because it’s always uncomfortable ?
let’s talk about some ways you can get herbal relief .
in herbal medicine , we use what’s called carminative herbs that help break down that trapped gas, move your food down, and help with digestion . These herbs are often warming , pungent , or aromatic - think fennel seed , ginger , peppermint , anise hyssop, chamomile, cinnamon, and clove.
you could make your own tasty tea blend with a mix of any of these herbs - or if you just have one on hand … use that! (if you don’t want to blend your own we sell a “digest - ease” blend at the shop)
The caveat here is while herbal teas will bring a dose of immediate relief - carminative herbs won’t fix WHY you’re bloating . BLOATING ISN’T NORMAL. clients I work with said they used to have normal digestion and suddenly started bloating and have avoid lots of foods , got it after a round of antibiotics , food poisoning , etc.
That isn’t normal - your body is designed to break down food. If it’s not , you have to ask why?
In my practice I run stool test called a GI MAP, often times my clients have an overgrown bacteria or a few - those problematic bacteria ferment fibers that cause gas, break down the gut lining , and eventually can lead to more systemic issues like skin conditions , hormonal imbalances , and autoimmunities . When we clear out the bad bacteria , support their gut lining - they’re bloating subsides AND they get relief from their other conditions .
If you need deeper support and like having a GI MAP run and interpreted for you with a custom herbal, nutrition, lifestyle plan that gives you relief . click on the link below for the ‘Rewild My Microbiome’ Package that includes stool testing and a personal plan for you 🦠- also if can book a free 20 minute discovery call to see if it feels right for you.
