Herbal Teas for Digestion – Guide to Fix Your Gut, Naturally
Struggling with digestion? Let’s talk tea…
Have you been dealing with bloating, gas, and that “ugh” feeling after meals? I too have been there, felt that. And instead of suggesting another medicine or some random YouTube remedy, I want to share something truly simple that worked for me. Some spices from our kitchen infused in water — herbal teas for digestion.
No gimmicks. These are time-tested Indian kitchen wisdom that have always been right and in harmony with our body and nature..
Why I Trust Herbal Teas (Especially for Digestion)
I’ve always been a believer in old-school remedies — the kind our grandparents used. You know, where the kitchen was the pharmacy. Especially when it comes to the gut, I feel like **our traditional Indian system had it figured out way before fancy probiotics were a thing**.
In Ayurveda, the root of health is digestion — your **Agni**, or digestive fire. If your Agni is weak, nothing else works well. But if it’s strong? You feel light, energetic, and clear-headed.
And to keep that Agni burning just right, herbal teas can be absolute game-changers.
My Favorite Herbal Teas for Digestion
Let’s get into the good stuff. Here are some gentle, natural infusions/teas that have helped me and others feel light, less bloated, and just… better. Best part is these infusions do not have any ill side effects.
CCF Tea: Best taken warm after lunch
CCF Tea – Cumin, Coriander, Fennel
Why it works:
– Cumin reduces bloating
– Coriander cools the stomach
– Fennel soothes and freshens digestion
How to make it:
Boil ½ tsp each of cumin, coriander, and fennel in 2 cups of water for 10 minutes. Strain and sip.
Ginger Tea
Why it works:
– Stimulates digestion
– Reduces gas and nausea
– Helps your body break down food faster
How to make it:
Slice fresh ginger and boil in water for 7–8 mins. Add a touch of honey if you like (once it cools slightly).
Avoid this on an empty stomach — it’s strong.
On stressful days, I sip mint tea instead of reaching for coffee. Works wonders
Mint Tea
Why it works:
– Relieves stomach cramps
– Calms indigestion and gas
– Feels refreshing!
How to make it:
Boil fresh or dried mint leaves for 5–7 mins. You can also just crush a few fresh leaves and pour hot water over them.
Ajwain Tea (Carom Seed Tea)
Why it works:
– Reduces bloating and gas
– Great after greasy or heavy meals
– Warms up a sluggish stomach
How to make it:
½ tsp ajwain + a pinch of salt in 1.5 cups water. Boil for 5 mins. It’s strong, but super effective.

Things to Keep in Mind
Skip the sugar. Add honey *only* when the tea cools slightly.
– Don’t overboil – most herbs lose their punch if boiled too long.
– Keep it consistent – have your chosen tea daily for 7–10 days to feel a difference.
Final Sip: Let Ancient Wisdom Brew
Herbal teas aren’t just drinks — they’re gentle nudges from nature reminding your gut how to work the way it’s meant to.
And honestly? In a world full of tablets and tonics, sometimes **a cup of warm fennel water after lunch** is all you need to feel normal again.
If you try any of these teas, message me. I’d love to know how your gut feels.
