Herbs for Gut Health and Repair

A healthy gut is essential for digestion, immunity, and overall well-being. When the gut lining is inflamed or damaged, it can lead to bloating, food sensitivities, and even brain fog. Certain herbs can soothe, heal, and support a balanced gut.

Slippery Elm: This herb coats the digestive tract with a soothing gel-like substance, reducing irritation and supporting tissue repair.

Marshmallow Root: Not the candy—this herb is rich in mucilage, which calms inflammation and helps rebuild the gut lining.

Licorice Root (DGL): Deglycyrrhizinated licorice supports mucosal lining repair and can reduce symptoms of heartburn and indigestion.

Chamomile: Known for its calming effects, chamomile also reduces gut inflammation and muscle spasms, easing cramps and discomfort.

Ginger: A powerful anti-inflammatory, ginger supports digestion, reduces nausea, and promotes gut motility.

Turmeric: Curcumin, its active compound, helps calm intestinal inflammation and supports long-term gut healing.

Incorporating these herbs into your routine—as teas, capsules, or tinctures—can be a gentle yet effective way to support gut repair. Always consult a qualified healthcare provider before starting herbal supplements, especially with existing conditions.
