There’s nothing like a warm cup of tea to soothe the tummy and digestive tract, right? Well, maybe not.
It turns out there’s a lot of drinks that can actually cause reflux to be worse: carbonated beverages, coffee, and even many teas! But this tea is different. This soothing herbal tea for heartburn relief is filled with ingredients proven to help reflux. Let’s take a look at the ingredients!
Ginger
Ginger has long been used as an acid reflux treatment. There are a number of theories behind why it’s such a great help for any acid reflux problems.
- Ginger speeds up gastric emptying. This means, the food doesn’t sit in your stomach too long. When food lingers in your stomach too long, it has more opportunity to cause problems like increased gas which can contribute to acid reflux.
- Ginger tightens the lower esophageal sphincter. This prevents the back-flow of stomach acid.
- Ginger regulates the flow of juices in the digestive system. This helps to ensure proper absorption of food, which in turn decreases the likelihood of acid reflux.
chamomile
While chamomile has long been used for various tummy troubles, the anti-inflammatory properties of chamomile are what make it one of the stars of this soothing tea. Chamomile decreases the irritation of the digestive system and relieves the inflammation in the esophageal tract.
Honey
Raw honey is used in this recipe to help soothe and reduce inflammation in the digestive tract and aid in the digestive process.
The texture of honey does a good job of coating the oesophagus which can help bring relief from acid reflux.
The enzymes in honey are also help with the digestive process.
