5 herbal teas that cleanse the intestines
Intestinal micro-flora can be strengthened with certain teas/herbs.
- Chamomile-herb is suitable for the stomach, intestines and flatulence. It prevents inflammatory conditions and has an antibacterial effect. A few flowers in a cup of tea are enough, because overuse of chamomile makes it difficult to tolerate.
- Lemon balm – lemon balm is good for sleep if drunk before bed. It soothes and strengthens the stomach, intestines and liver and is easily tolerated. Lemon balm has a refreshing taste, so it is often used in tea mixtures.
- Anise – helps with cramps, stimulates digestion and is excellent against flatulence. It can be made into tea or chewed to freshen the breath. It effectively stimulates the immune system.
- Thyme-has an anti-inflammatory and disinfecting effect. It is used against colds, against problems with the intestines and stomach. It has an antiviral effect, so it is recommended during the cold seasons.
- Lavender – lavender essential oils are generally used for sleep problems (because lavender has a calming effect). Lavender generally works on the body by positively stimulating overall balance. It has an antibacterial and antifungal effect. Only a few lavender flowers are used in tea blends because lavender essential oils are very intense. Lavender is good in combination with verbena because both plants strengthen the body.
