Pre-bedtime teas that are good for your gut

In the hustle-bustle of our day-to-day lives, we tend to rush our breakfast and lunch, squeezing them in between our pressing demands of getting work done. With the day coming to end, we look forward to a wholesome and nourishing meal. But with a heavy dinner comes heavy digestive distress.

The real question is, how many of us feel guilty after savouring our favorite foods, especially at night? Focusing on easy-to-digest foods is good for your gut health. In case that isn’t possible, worry not. You can lean on certain herbal teas that aren’t just soothing but will also cure stomach-related issues. Here are some gut-healthy teas to drink after dinner.

Ginger tea

There’s really nothing that ginger can’t do! Drink ginger tea before bed to tackle all kinds of gut issues including indigestion, bloating and constipation. The immunity boosting drink also prevents nausea and vomiting. Many people consume ginger tea before sleeping to reduce stress and tension.

Peppermint tea

Peppermint tea is a popular natural remedy for digestive issues. The soothing effect of the menthol in peppermint may help to relax an upset stomach, control cramps and deal with digestive issues like irritable bowel syndrome. This bedtime tea also helps you sleep better, instead of troubling you all night because of acid reflux or other issues.

Chamomile tea

Most of us have heard of chamomile tea as a miracle cure for those suffering from insomnia and other sleep disorders. Besides that, this relaxing tea also helps to treat gut issues as it contains prebiotics, which work well for the gut bacteria and help tackle constipation.
