Digestive discomfort — bloating, indigestion, or sluggishness — can be more common in midlife as metabolism and hormones shift. Thankfully, nature provides gentle herbal allies that help calm, balance, and support digestion.
Top Herbs for Digestive Wellness
- Peppermint
Cooling and refreshing, peppermint helps relax the digestive tract and reduce bloating and gas. Peppermint tea after meals is a simple way to ease discomfort. - Chamomile
Known for its calming effect, chamomile also soothes the stomach lining and supports better digestion. It’s especially helpful if stress contributes to stomach upset. - Ginger
A warming herb that stimulates digestion, reduces nausea, and helps food move smoothly through the digestive system. Fresh ginger tea or adding grated ginger to meals works wonders. - Fennel
Fennel seeds are traditionally used to reduce gas and cramping. They can be chewed after meals or brewed into tea for gentle digestive support. - Licorice Root
Licorice root supports the stomach lining and may reduce heartburn or irritation. Look for deglycyrrhizinated licorice (DGL) for safe, long-term use.
