BufferTweetA survey of pharmacists shows that few believe in the organic herbal products sold in their stores. The real estate in pharmacies are the racks next to the dispensary where clients wait while their prescriptions are being filled. Here is where clients kill time looking at items that they might not have planned to buy. But [...]
BufferTweetOregano Oil Benefits Recently I came across oregano oil for a sore throat I had. One drop of the oil in a glass of water and gargle 3 times a day by the second day my throat was just as clear. Many believe that oregano oil benefits are even better than echinacea. It sounds like [...]

Fears of new plagues are on everyone’s minds today. It is hard to ignore the fact that over 500 people have died from Severe [...]
The white powder is just about everywhere. Look at the label of anything these days and white sugar will be there. Only in rare cases, in particularly health products cane sugar maybe used. So why are we so obsessed with white sugar? White sugar is refined sugar and has gone through so many chemical processes that little if any of the nutrients is gone.
Here Are Some Quick Ways for You to Aid Digestion
There are many herbal teas that you can use to aid digestion. I prefer ginger as the best all round cold, sore throat, cough and aid to digestion remedy but here are a few more alternatives. Make an infusion of the following herbs:
28g chamomile
18.9g peppermint
28g caraway seeds
18.9g angelica
Use one teaspoon of the mixture per 1 cup of hot water. Steep for ten minutes and strain.
Other herbs that are listed as good for the stomach are:
Anise, echinacea , raspberry leaves, dong quai, catnip (or catmint), lemon balm, fennel seeds, marshmallow, calendula, spearmint as well as peppermint is often used to aid digestion. Not herbal, but shu pu erh is also said to be helpful after eating greasy food. Jasmine tea is supposed to be good for digestion as well.
If you experience acid reflux, you may want to avoid peppermint as they say this tends to numb the muscle that prevents reflux from occurring. For some people who have experience on this matter, eliminate the peppermint totally from their diet so, sometimes it is the tea that you don’t drink that will aid digestion as well.
I have had one comment from a person with intense IBS who usually drinks a mix of fennel seeds and peppermint to help with the indigestion and bloating. Add 2 parts fennel into a mortar and pestle, crack the seeds and then add 1 part peppermint. Yet other people have had great success with Yogi brand Egyption Licorice tea. It contains a variety of herbs and they claim it settles their indigestion very well.
Burdock root (Arctium lappa L.) or gobo in Japanese is eaten in Japan as kinpira gobo, which is saute burdock root with carrots. The root can also be added to soups and even a tea is made from the root. As a mildly bitter-tasting herb, it increases saliva and bile secretion, which also aids digestion and cleanses the liver.
One very important point to remember is that when you are using herbs, some may have real medicinal properties and are not recommended for constant use and it is better off to see a qualified medical practitioner.
As usual please let us know what you use for your digestion issues in the comments below and your suggestion maybe featured next!
