Herbal tea for fluid retention, bloating and digestion
I have been loving this herbal tea lately, so I thought I'd share it with you.
Here in Brisbane it is winter and often I find I drink less water so gentle herbal tea without caffeine counts towards the water intake. The flavour is mild yet interesting enough.
The hero ingredients are:
• Fennel seeds – traditionally used to ease bloating, gas and digestive discomfort.
• Peppermint leaf – helps relax the digestive tract and can soothe an unsettled stomach.
• Dandelion leaf – traditionally used as a gentle diuretic to support healthy fluid balance. Very good for removing the excess fluids
• Celery seed (or leaf) – traditionally used to support fluid balance and healthy digestion.
It's a lovely, gentle tea to enjoy after meals or whenever you're feeling a little puffy or bloated.
If you really want to enhance the effect of it, I suggest you drink 4 cups a day.
I personally make 2 cups at a time, with double bag, I keep it in my thermos mug and when it cools down I just top it up with extra hot water.
PS. You can just make this blend yourself and buy the herbs in loose leaf, use 1 tsp of each to make 2 cups of tea.
Do you have a go-to herbal tea that you always keep in the cupboard?
