#1 Gyokuro

Green tea is known to be an elixir of many health benefits. Its no surprise that research has also found a link between the catechins found in green tea leaf and an increase in pepsin activity. Pepsin is an important digestive enzyme that aids in the proper absorption of food. Gyokuro has a very high level of catechin antioxidants because it is shaded for 20 days at the end of its growth cycle, and is comprised of only young leaves. Regular consumption of a highly concentrated green tea like Gyokuro can help to stimulate the production of digestive juices in the gut, improving your bodyâ€™s natural ability to process and absorb nutrients from the foods you eat.

#2 Pu-erh Tea

A lesser known variety of tea, known as â€œHong Chaâ€ (â€œRed Teaâ€), pu-erh has some very unique properties. Pu-erh is aged through a process of microbial fermentation. The Chinese have long utilized pu-erh for its medicinal properties. It is widely used to cure indigestion! New research on the topic of pu-erh is also promising for those who occasionally indulge in fatty foods that are heavy and hard to digest. Pu-erh drinking may result in a significant decrease in cholesterol and blood lipid levels, as well as visceral fat accumulation on the body.

#3 Peppermint

Researchers have found a link between peppermint tea consumption and relief for sufferers of IBS. Peppermint has a unique quality that reduces pain in the digestive system. Naturally occurring compounds in peppermint are antispasmodic and reduce spasms in the digestive system when ingested, thus relieving gas, bloating and discomfort. Not to mention, it tastes amazing!

#4 Turmeric Ginger

Turmeric Ginger Organic contains two roots that work together to provide relief for multiple digestive symptoms. A well-known natural antiemitic, ginger is frequently utilized and recommended for nausea. It also has added carminative benefits that help to reduce bloating and intestinal gas. Pairing these properties with turmeric is a super power for gastrointestinal relief! Turmeric has been shown to be an anti-dyspeptic, abating fullness in the belly and the discomfort of bloating.

#5 Nile Delta Chamomile

The modest little chamomile flower might just look like a miniature daisy, but its reputation for healing the body is pretty well-rounded. It boasts an impressive number of medicinal compounds. For digestion, it provides relief from inflammation and diarrhea. It also decreases pepsin production, thus providing heartburn relief.

#6 Relaxing Tea

A blend of carminative spices and herbs, relaxing tea is a combination of pro-digestion power players. Many foods cause flatulence, and it can be unpredictable at times. Sipping on this delicious and caffeine-free blend post-meal can relieve the discomfort and embarrassment. Relaxing Teaâ€™s blend of ginger, fennel, orange peels, and cardamom provides relief for the body, and peace for the mind.

#7 Thai Lemongrass Oolong

Oolong tea aids the digestive tract because it is mildly antiseptic, and helps to inhibit the growth of bad bacteria in the gut. In addition, it has an alkalizing effect that helps reduce acid reflux. Thai Lemongrass Oolong also contains licorice root, which helps to reduce inflammation and soothe ulcers. Lemongrass has been used extensively to treat gastrointestinal discomfort and is soothing and antiemitic.
