Gas & Bloating Herbal Tea

Ingredient research · Fiber

Fiber includes nondigestible carbohydrates and related plant components that add bulk or form gels and are fermented to varying degrees by gut microbes. Supplementing it can improve bowel regularity, while certain types also lower LDL cholesterol, moderate post-meal blood sugar, and support beneficial gut bacteria; effects depend on the fiber’s properties.

• Supports selected glycemic-control markers, including fasting glucose, HbA1c, fasting insulin, and insulin resistance.
• Supports diarrhea prevention in adults receiving enteral nutrition.

Ingredient research · Fennel

Fennel is an aromatic herb, with seed preparations commonly taken to settle the digestive tract by reducing gas and relaxing intestinal smooth muscle. It may ease bloating and mild abdominal cramping; traditional uses for menstrual discomfort and breast-milk production are less certain.

• Supports selected gastrointestinal-recovery measures after complex abdominal surgery when used as externally applied heated fennel.

Ingredient research · Licorice

Licorice is a sweet-tasting medicinal root used mainly to soothe coughs, sore throats, and digestive irritation, although benefits depend on the preparation and remain uncertain. Its glycyrrhizin content distinguishes whole licorice from deglycyrrhizinated products and can raise blood pressure and lower potassium with substantial use.

Ingredient research · Chamomile

Chamomile is a flowering herb traditionally used for its gentle calming and digestive properties. As a tea or supplement, Chamomile may modestly ease anxiety and support sleep, and may also help with occasional digestive discomfort; its effects can depend on the species and preparation.

Ingredient research · Star Anise

Star Anise is an aromatic botanical best known as a spice and traditional digestive remedy; supplements are generally taken for bloating, gas, or respiratory comfort, but demonstrated human benefits are limited. It should not be confused with toxic Japanese star anise, making reliable species identification especially important.

Ingredient research · Caraway

Caraway is an aromatic botanical used traditionally to ease digestive discomfort, particularly gas, bloating, and intestinal cramping, through compounds that may relax the digestive tract. Caraway supplements may help indigestion, but human evidence is limited and often comes from combination products containing other herbs.

Ingredient research · Peppermint Oil

Peppermint Oil is a concentrated essential oil whose menthol-rich constituents relax intestinal smooth muscle. Enteric-coated capsules can reduce abdominal pain, bloating, and other symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome, while topical preparations may provide short-term relief of tension-type headache; benefits depend strongly on formulation and route.

• Supports global and abdominal symptoms in adults with irritable bowel syndrome.

Ingredient research · Fennel Essential Oil

Fennel Essential Oil is a concentrated mixture of volatile fennel compounds, especially anethole, used chiefly for its aromatic and antispasmodic properties rather than as a nutrient. It is considered for digestive discomfort and menstrual cramping, but human evidence for supplemental use is limited, and the oil is not interchangeable with whole fennel or fennel tea.
