My 3 Favorite Teas for Digestion & Calm

Published on 2 May 2025 at 13:55

There’s something sacred about a warm cup of tea — the way it slows you down, warms your hands, and makes you feel instantly more grounded.

When my digestion feels off, or my nervous system needs a little reset, I always turn to my favorite herbal teas. They’re simple, soothing, and surprisingly powerful.

Here are my top three blends that support my gut and help me feel more at ease — body, mind, and belly.

 

🍵 1. Chamomile & Lavender Tea

Best for: Calm digestion, bloating, bedtime relaxation

This is my go-to tea after dinner or on stressful evenings. Chamomile helps relax the muscles in the digestive tract, reducing gas and cramping. Lavender pairs perfectly, adding calming floral notes that ease anxiety and tension in the body — especially if your digestive upset is stress-related.

When I sip it: After dinner or before bed, often with a book in hand.

🍋 2. Lemon Tea (or Hot Lemon Water)

Best for: Morning digestion, liver support, natural detox

Warm lemon tea is a gentle way to stimulate digestion first thing in the morning. It encourages your digestive juices to flow, helps flush toxins, and supports liver function. Plus, it gives a bright start to the day and makes hydration feel intentional.

When I sip it: First thing in the morning, on an empty stomach.

🌫️ 3. Herbal Earl Grey

Best for: Gut comfort, gentle energy, cozy afternoon sipping

Herbal Earl Grey is perfect when I want something cozy but caffeine-free. Traditionally made with bergamot (a citrus oil), this tea can help ease bloating and aid digestion. I like herbal versions made with rooibos or lavender so I can enjoy the flavor and benefits without the caffeine spike.

When I sip it: Mid-morning or late afternoon — especially on slower days.

🌱 Final Thoughts

Tea isn’t a cure-all, but it’s one of the easiest, most nurturing rituals I return to daily. Whether you’re feeling bloated, anxious, or just need a quiet moment — these blends can offer gentle support and grounding comfort.
