A strong body starts with a strong digestive system and a plant-strong vegan diet. I have a health tip for you today. Mint is the top herb for your gut according to health experts because it contains anti-microbial and anti-inflammatory properties that promote a balanced gastrointestinal (GI) environment. It also helps reduce stomach cramping by relaxing the muscles of the digestive tract. Research has shown that peppermint oil, for instance, can help alleviate digestive symptoms in people who have irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and quell indigestion, and its safety has been demonstrated for short-term relief. Other herbs, such as turmeric, ginger, and fennel, also provide substantial benefits to your GI tract. It’s important to incorporate a diverse range of herbs and foods to adopt a holistic approach and promote your overall gut health. You can add fresh mint in various healthy drink recipes, like lemon, cucumber and mint infused water, or try green jasmine-mint iced tea with lemon.
