Slippery elm

In great part thanks to its richness in a moistening substance called mucilage, slippery elm has wonderful soothing and healing properties. It helps to protect the gut lining by cooling, soothing, moistening and modulating inflammation. This allows the gut to rest and repair itself, making it particularly useful in inflammatory gut disorders such as hyperacidity, gastritis and peptic ulcers.

Marshmallow root

Marshmallow root is one of our go-to herbs for inflammatory gut conditions. It’s particularly supportive in relieving hyperacidity and any inflammatory gut problems such as gastritis, peptic ulcers and ulcerative colitis. Its abundance of mucilage means it is very effective in cooling irritation and inflammation, and in protecting and healing the lining of the digestive tract. 

Chamomile

Chamomile is famous for soothing stress-related digestive upsets. It is a wonderfully calming herb for body and mind, and a key ingredient for easing painful spasms, wind, heartburn, acidity and indigestion. It is mildly sedative and mood enhancing — so it calms anxiety and nervousness, which are often associated with digestive issues. 

Meadowsweet

Meadowsweet contains salicylic acid — the substance from which aspirin was synthesised —, which makes it very helpful to ease pain and inflammation. However, unlike aspirin, not only does it not risk causing stomach acidity as a side effect, but it is an excellent antacid and healer of the digestive tract. It is indicated for acid indigestion, heartburn, gastritis, peptic ulcers, reflux and other inflammatory conditions of the stomach and bowels.
