🌿 Digestive Harmony🌿
I've been making this botanical blend for some time now, originally creating it for someone struggling with digestive discomfort. After receiving positive feedback from customers who've tried it, I'm finally making it a regular part of Wild Blu Indigo.
But I want to share a little about the herbal science behind it, because digestion involves so much more than just the stomach.
Our digestive tract has its own protective mucus layer, an intestinal barrier, a complex community of microorganisms, and an intricate connection to our nervous system. All of these play important roles in digestive health.
🌼 Marshmallow Root is rich in mucilage, a group of plant polysaccharides that form a slippery, gel-like substance when hydrated. Traditionally, it's used to soothe irritated mucous membranes. Researchers are also exploring how plant polysaccharides interact with the gut environment.
🌼 Chamomile contains flavonoids and other botanical compounds studied for their anti-inflammatory and antispasmodic properties. Much of this research is preliminary, but its traditional use for digestive discomfort goes back centuries.
🌿 Spearmint contains aromatic compounds and polyphenols. Mint herbs have a long history of use in digestive preparations, although spearmint itself has limited clinical research for digestive symptoms.
🌱 Dandelion Root contains bitter compounds and inulin, a fermentable fiber that can serve as food for certain intestinal microorganisms. How much inulin actually ends up in a cup depends on the preparation.
🍃 Lemon Balm has traditionally been used for digestive discomfort and nervous tension. I especially appreciate its place in a blend that recognizes the connection between stress and digestion.
Digestive Harmony brings together five botanicals with different traditional roles in digestive wellness, thoughtfully blended.
I'll have this beautiful blend tomorrow at Pogo's Market
9am to 1pm
