Digestive issues can be distressing and can affect your quality of life. Who hasn’t, at one time or another, suffered from acid reflux, abdominal pain, bloating, cramps, diarrhea, or constipation—sometimes in combination? These issues are often mild but come with pain. In addition to being bothersome, they interfere with your work, disrupt your sleep, and affect your well-being and mood. Discover simple, natural remedies to treat your digestive problems.
Good bowel function starts with a healthy, balanced diet. It’s important to adopt certain healthy habits. First and foremost, cut back on fats, excessive alcohol, and processed foods. If your digestion is slow or sluggish, prioritize fiber-rich foods, which can be found in many foods such as green vegetables, dried fruits, whole grains, and whole-wheat bread. Fiber has several benefits: it absorbs water, increases stool volume, speeds up digestion, and stimulates intestinal contractions.
Bowel movements are regulated by several types of contractions: some mix the contents of the intestine, while others push those contents toward the rectum. This colonic motility is very weak when we are sleeping or fasting, but it kicks into gear as soon as we wake up and start eating. This motility is, of course, controlled by the nervous system located in the colon’s wall, but the colon is also an organ that communicates with the brain. This is why, in times of stress or strong emotions, the colon “communicates” with the brain, and the brain modulates and influences most of our digestive functions: a simple conversation about food is often enough to increase colonic motility. But do hormones also play a role, particularly serotonin, which stimulates the colon’s contraction and relaxation receptors? It is this sequence of contractions and relaxations that ensures the progression of stool.
This plant is a powerful liver cleanser! It’s ideal for all symptoms of liver congestion: a heavy liver, a dry mouth, nausea, migraines, bloating, general fatigue… Rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis) is an essential herb for supporting the liver. Its hepatoprotective properties make it a true “cleanser” of this vital organ.
While no one wants to eat it “root and all,” you shouldn’t deprive yourself of its energizing benefits—especially for a sluggish gallbladder. It helps improve gallbladder function, stimulates bile flow, and thus protects us from a whole host of harmful effects: constipation, digestive heaviness, and fatigue.
Dandelion (Taraxacum officinale), although often considered a weed, is a plant rich in health benefits, particularly for the gallbladder.
Its high mucilage content makes it a powerful ally against constipation, as well as in cases of intestinal inflammation (gastroenteritis), colitis, and an imbalance in the gut microbiome. It is also very helpful for addressing skin symptoms associated with digestive disorders, such as dark circles under the eyes and tired-looking skin.
Mallow (Malva sylvestris) is a gentle and soothing plant, particularly beneficial for the digestive system.
This antispasmodic, which strengthens the parasympathetic nervous system—promoting relaxation and calm—is a godsend for soothing colitis, spasms of digestive or nervous origin, as well as their secondary symptoms (bloating, heaviness, waking up at night). It is also highly effective for digestive migraines, stress-induced binge eating, and emotional overeating.
Lemon balm (Melissa officinalis) is a plant known for its soothing and antispasmodic properties.
With its emollient properties, this powerful protector of the stomach lining offers benefits in cases of acid reflux, heartburn, gastritis, and even ulcers. Caution, however: its use is strictly contraindicated in cases of high blood pressure.
Licorice (Glycyrrhiza glabra) is a plant renowned for its emollient and protective properties.
An excellent gas absorber with a delicious anise flavor, it acts like vegetable charcoal to combat gas, fermentation, and intestinal congestion.
Fennel (Foeniculum vulgare) is an aromatic herb prized for its effectiveness against intestinal disorders.
