Why Use Herbs for Better Digestion and Absorption

Why-Use-Herbs-for-Better-Digestion-and-Absorption_0_0

Long before we had drugs at our fingertips in the pharmacy, people all over the world relied on plants to treat some of their ailments, including digestive disorders.

Why-Use-Herbs-for-Better-Digestion-and-Absorption_0_1

Today, many of these same botanical drugs remain widespread for use in common symptoms of digestive problems. Bouts of nausea, vomiting, heartburn, dyspepsia, bloating, belching, flatulence or acute diarrhea, when occasionally or mild, can all be treated alone and with good effect.

Why-Use-Herbs-for-Better-Digestion-and-Absorption_0_2

More serious or persistent digestive disorders, such as intestinal infections, chronic diarrhea, chronic acid reflux, inflammatory bowel disease (e.g., Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis), or peptic ulcers, among others, should be discussed with a qualified specialist. Although these digestive problems can also be treated with herbs, the results can be much more variable, and medical judgment is paramount and most important for a successful outcome.

Botanical-nervous-relaxants

Botanical nervous relaxants

Botanical-nervous-relaxants_1_0

For a healthy digestive function, our bodies need to be in a relaxed state. When we are in a state of anxiety and stress, the "fight or flight" response is triggered. Then digestion always remains in the background to dealing with stress or stressor. When eating in this state, it is common to develop digestive disorders, be it diarrhea, constipation, or very severe abdominal pain.&nbsp;

Botanical-nervous-relaxants_1_1

For those whose digestion is easily disturbed by an emotional disorder, botanical nerve relaxants can have a pronounced positive effect on the nervous system, which is naturally followed by relief in the digestive system. They do this by reducing the stress response an adaptive triggering of the sympathetic nervous system, accompanied by simultaneous shutdown of any other bodily function that is not needed in emergencies for survival. Essentially, these herbs help heal our nervous stomachs by making us calmer.&nbsp;

Six herbs for better digestion and absorption

Mint-(Mentha-x-piperita-and-Mentha-spp.)-for-digestion

Mint (Mentha x piperita and Mentha spp.) for digestion

Mint-(Mentha-x-piperita-and-Mentha-spp.)-for-digestion_2_0

The use of peppermint essential oil as a digestive aid probably dates back to ancient Greece. A few thousand years later, there is already a set of scientific studies that support its use, especially in the form of enteric coated peppermint oil capsules, for symptomatic relief of irritable bowel syndrome. &nbsp;<a href="https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/apt.14519" target="_blank" data-ref="Just a moment..." rel="noopener">[ref. 1]</a>&nbsp;

Mint-(Mentha-x-piperita-and-Mentha-spp.)-for-digestion_2_1

The enteric coating of the capsule allows peppermint oil to pass undigested through the more acidic upper areas of the gastrointestinal tract to the lower intestine, where, as reported in the British Medical Journal more than 30 years ago, it has the effect of a mild smooth-muscle relaxant that serves to soothe digestive spasm, inhibits gastrointestinal contraction, relieves gas, and reduces pain and discomfort. &nbsp;<a href="http://www.ephysician.ir/index.php/browse-issues/2016/9/480-3024" target="_blank" data-ref="A systematic review study of therapeutic effects of Matricaria recuitta chamomile (chamomile)" rel="noopener">[ref. 2]</a>&nbsp;

Mint-(Mentha-x-piperita-and-Mentha-spp.)-for-digestion_2_2

Mint-(Mentha-x-piperita-and-Mentha-spp.)-for-digestion_2_3

You can also use mint in other ways. It is not necessary to suffer from a digestive disorder to enjoy mint, at least in the form of peppermint tea. No adverse effects have been reported from mint tea and it may be the most widely consumed herbal infusion with one ingredient. Even the most delicate stomach will be grateful for a cup of peppermint tea after dinner, thanks to its delicate aroma, taste and all the beneficial effects on digestion.

Chamomile-(Matricaria-recutita,-M.-chamomilla,-Chamomilla-recutita)

Chamomile (Matricaria recutita, M. chamomilla, Chamomilla recutita)

Chamomile-(Matricaria-recutita,-M.-chamomilla,-Chamomilla-recutita)_2_0

Chamomile is a plant nerve relaxant that is popular for use in digestive symptoms, used alone or in combination, such as herbal infusion, tincture or homeopathic.&nbsp;

Chamomile-(Matricaria-recutita,-M.-chamomilla,-Chamomilla-recutita)_2_1

Chamomile has traditionally been prescribed in the treatment of both acute and chronic stomach distress, such as inflammation and spasms of the digestive organs. Although human research is limited, there are studies of dried chamomile flower extracts demonstrating antispasmodic and anxiolytic (anti-anxiety) effects. Along with the antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties of chamomile, these actions may explain its overall calming effect on digestion.&nbsp;

Chamomile-(Matricaria-recutita,-M.-chamomilla,-Chamomilla-recutita)_2_2

Numerous chemical compounds, including apigenin, have been isolated from chamomile flowers. The pharmacological effects of this phenolic flavonoid are not fully understood, but it has been noted that apigenin has an affinity for GABA receptors in the brain where it can exert a natural inhibitory effect on the central nervous system.&nbsp;

Chamomile-(Matricaria-recutita,-M.-chamomilla,-Chamomilla-recutita)_2_3

Generally recognized as safe and well tolerated, chamomile may, however, cause rare allergic symptoms in those who are sensitive to plants in the families Asteraceae, Umbelliferae, Amaryllidaceae.

Melissa-officinalis

Melissa officinalis

Melissa-officinalis_2_0

Often formulated in combination products, lemon balm, rosemary, and valerian as the next three herbs are good nerve relaxants that can help eliminate digestive cramps, relieve excess gas, soothe malaise, and reduce pain. There is somewhat limited clinical evidence to support their use, but based on observations and available research, these herbs are generally well tolerated and can be taken orally to help reduce symptoms of gastrointestinal disorders.&nbsp;

Melissa-officinalis_2_1

Lemon balm, also known as melissa, is another member of the mint family, used internationally for centuries to relieve gas, cramps and dyspepsia, as well as to increase tranquility.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Rosmarinus-officinalis

Rosmarinus officinalis

Rosmarinus-officinalis_2_0

Rosemary is known for its antispasmodic effects. Studies of the active ingredients of medicinal plants often show biochemical similarities between different species. Rosemary and lemon balm, for example, share a polyphenolic compound known as rosmarinic acid, which contributes to their beneficial effects.

Valerian-officinalis

Valerian officinalis

Valerian-officinalis_2_0

Valerian is better known for its effects on anxiety and nervous sleep disorders and is often formulated with other herbs such as hops or lemon balm for use as a mild sedative. Historically, valerian has also been used for gastrointestinal problems, such as intestinal cramps and flatulence. 4

Fennel-(Foeniculum-vulgare)

Fennel (Foeniculum vulgare) 

Fennel-(Foeniculum-vulgare)_2_0

Fennel, also called kopret, field dill, wild dill, pharmacy dill, fennel, false fenugreek, originates from traditional Ayurveda, Middle Eastern and Mediterranean medicine. Preparations from wild fennel leaves and seeds have been noticed as an aid in preventing and relieving the formation of gas and reducing bloating, heartburn and constipation.&nbsp;

Fennel-(Foeniculum-vulgare)_2_1

It is also believed that fennel promotes the secretion of digestive enzymes and stimulates appetite. Dill is generally considered safe, although it can rarely cause an allergic reaction. It is not recommended to use it during pregnancy. &nbsp;<a href="https://peerj.com/articles/10308/" target="_blank" data-ref="Effects of dietary fennel (Foeniculum vulgare Mill.) seed powder supplementation on growth performance, nutrient digestibility, small intestinal morphology, and carcass traits of broilers" rel="noopener">[ref. 3]</a>&nbsp;

Swedish bitter - a well-known remedy for better digestion

Swedish-bitter---a-well-known-remedy-for-better-digestion_2_0

There are many different formulations, passed down over the centuries by elders familiar with the local flora. Swedish bitter, probably the most famous here in the Western world, originated in Europe in the 16th century, where it was used for a number of gastrointestinal symptoms, including stomach cramps. It is believed that one "original" recipe was tincture of aloe (Aloe vera), myrrh (Commiphora myrrha, Commiphora molmol), saffron, senna leaves (Cassia), camphor, angelica root (Angelica), rhubarb root (Rheum rhabarbarum) and other ingredients, in a mixture of several different spirits. Nowadays, there are a number of different preparations called "Swedish bitterness" that contain more diverse combinations of herbs from around the world.

Since we encounter different concepts, it is important to clarify what is the difference between tea, herbal infusion, decoction and tincture. These are the different methods we use to prepare the essential oils and additional active ingredients found in medicinal plants.

Types-of-herbal-products_2_2

<ul><li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Infusion - similar to a decoction, but generally more powerful, with plant materials being allowed to soak in oil or boiling water for a while.</li><li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Tincture — an extract prepared by placing herbs or other plant material in a jar of ethanol or another form of alcohol, letting it stand for several weeks or more, periodically shaking, then strained. Sometimes vinegar or glycerin is used instead of alcohol.</li><li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Herbal infusion — herbal "tea" brewed in water from any plant material other than the real tea plant (Camellia sinensis)</li><li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Decoction — prepared by boiling ground or creased vegetable materials in water, then strained the result.</li></ul>

These are just a few of the many herbs with a long tradition of use in digestive disorders. Look for these herbs at your health food store or groceries, if you have a garden you can grow them there or buy them from the market. Keep in mind that herbs work differently for each person, and not only are they important for good digestion. It is most important to establish what is causing stomach disorders and symptoms in order to eliminate the causes of the problem. And as always, before using herbs for a digestive condition that plagues you, consult a qualified herbalist, naturopath, or other medical person at your discretion.

What-is-Swedish-bitters?_0_1

Swedish bitterness is an herbal infusion made with a mixture of many herbs, roots, seeds and flowers. Typically, Swedish bitterness is used for medicinal purposes and can be consumed alone or mixed with other beverages. Although originally named by Swedish physicians, Dr. Klaus Samst in the 18th century, Austrian herbalist and author Maria Treben is considered to promote herbal tonic.

What-is-Swedish-bitters?_0_2

In Treben's bestseller, Health Through God's Pharmacy: Advice and Proof of Healings with Medicinal Herbs, she shares her personal experience with Swedish bitterness and its myriad applications. She is best known for using the little Swedish bitterness recipe that appears in the book. Swedish bitterness contains 11 different ingredients, including aloe (Aloe Vera), camphor, angelica root (Angelica sinensis.), saffron, senna leaves (Senna alexandrina), mildew, myrrh (Commiphora myrrha), rhubarb roots (Rheum rhabarbarum), zedoir roots, milk thistle roots (Onopordum acanthium) and theriac venetian (valerian root, cinnamon, cardamom). The traditional recipe for Great Swedish Bitters contains 22 ingredients, but the two different versions have almost the same effect.

Swedish-bitterness-for-overall-health_1_0

Swedish bitters is often called a natural detoxifier, which can help organs work in a synergistic way. While there is tons of anecdotal evidence for this purported miraculous tonic, we want to highlight two of the most popular, modern uses of Swedish bitters known to date.

Swedish-bitters-for-digestion

Swedish bitters for digestion 

Swedish-bitters-for-digestion_1_0

Swedish-bitters-for-digestion_1_1

Swedish bitters is primarily known for the effects it has on digestive health. A 2015 study published in the Journal of Evidence-Based Complementary and Alternative Medicine found that bitterness both prevented and alleviated indigestion. Swedish bitters stimulates receptors in the mouth and throat, which are activated by bitter foods. This increases the production of saliva, gastric juice and bile, all of which contain digestive enzymes that help break down fats and other foods. Applied for this purpose, bitters often has a quick effect. 1

Swedish-bitters-for-digestion_1_2

For example, if you have digestive problems, we recommend drinking one teaspoon of Swedish bitters three times a day in herbal tea or diluted with warm water due to its digestive properties. By the way, the same applies to stomach ailments or nausea. If stomach ailments are more like stomach cramps, we recommend a tablespoon of Swedish bitters rather than a teaspoon.

Swedish-bitters-as-a-helpful-tool-during-the-cold-season_1_0

Cough, cold, nasal congestion and more symptoms can accompany us during the autumn-winter season. Swedish bitters can also support us for a stronger immunity, and this does not exclude the role of food.

Swedish-bitters-as-a-helpful-tool-during-the-cold-season_1_1

With a severe cold, a simple inhalation with Swedish bitters can provide quick relief. Just drip a little bitter into boiling water and inhale the fumes.

Swedish-bitters-as-a-helpful-tool-during-the-cold-season_1_2

Those who suffer from fever can try mixing a tablespoon of Swedish bitters with half a cup of chamomile tea. Half of the tea is drunk half an hour before and half an hour after each meal. You can do the same with a sore throat. However, you need to reduce the dose a little: in this case, one teaspoon is enough for half a cup of herbal tea.

We can also use the power of Swedish bitters for headaches. To try if it works, drip a little Swedish bitters on a cotton cloth and place it on the painful area. Ideally, you should let the towel act for a quarter of an hour in the supine position.

Swedish-bitters-to-relieve-oral-problems_1_0

For unpleasant pains such as toothache, you can try standard painkillers or Swedish bitters. Maria Treben in her book recommends using a 1 tablespoon Swedish bitter mouthwash diluted in a glass of water or herbal tea to relieve toothache. Of course, this is a temporary solution and a visit to the dentist is advisable.

Swedish bitters for skin irritations

You can use bitters as more than just an internal remedy. This blend of herbs can help speed up the healing of rashes and insect bites or help soothe dry, irritated skin.&nbsp;

Swedish-bitters-for-skin-irritations_1_1

There is evidence of the use of bitters to treat inflamed nails, torn corners of the mouth, lichen, eczema and more, but they are not scientifically proved. There aren't many published studies to explain why bitters may be good for the skin, although one study found an improvement in acne when applied to the skin. 2 Some people believe that the regenerative and detoxifying properties of Swedish bitters are responsible for its effects on the skin.&nbsp;

Maria-Treben's-Old-Swedish-Bitter-Recipe_2_1

One of the main functions of Swedish bitters is to promote the secretion of pancreatic and gastric juice and soothe the digestive tract. The drink stimulates the functions of the liver and promotes the secretion of bile by the liver, which serves to emulsify or break down dietary fats and clear cholesterol from the body. Having a healthy liver, in turn, will improve the overall digestion process and prevent bloating and flatulence.&nbsp;

How-Natural-Antibiotics-Work_0_3

Now that resistance to conventional antibiotics is a serious global problem, it makes sense to explore the possibilities and benefits of using natural antimicrobial agents for certain types of bacterial infections. The question is how much we can rely on natural antibiotics and in which cases.

In addition to well-known medications to prevent and treat bacterial infections called antibiotics, those originating in nature can also be administered. It's important to know that natural antibiotics can still interact with other medications, supplements, or foods, so it's best to take them after consulting a doctor. On the other hand, you should not take antibiotics as medications unless absolutely necessary. Indiscriminate intake of these medications can lead to resistance to antibiotics, so their prescribing and use should occur only with proven bacterial infection.
