Belly Becalm (Digestion)
When it comes to human well-being, the ancient physician Hippocrates (460 BC – 370 BC) wisely stated, “All disease begins in the gut.” Unfortunately, in our busy modern age, gut health often takes a back seat. Many of us rely too heavily on convenience foods that we know aren’t beneficial. In fact, over 50 million Americans consume fast food every day—a staggering statistic! So, what can you do to support your digestion in this fast-paced world? The answer is simple: drink herbal tea!
Belly Becalm (Digestion) is a delicious blend crafted from premium herbs and flowers specifically designed to support digestive health. This flavourful concoction is packed with ingredients selected for their ability to soothe the gut and ease digestive discomfort.
Key Ingredients
The blend begins with peppermint, a long-revered digestive aid. According to the University of Maryland Medical Centre, peppermint “calms the muscles of the stomach and improves the flow of bile, which the body uses to digest fats.” This makes it an excellent choice for alleviating bloating and discomfort.
Next, cinnamon and cardamom join the mix, both of which have been used in traditional medicine to support digestion. Lemon balm and ginger further enhance this blend, each known for their soothing properties. Ginger, in particular, is celebrated for its ability to ease nausea and improve digestive efficiency.
To round out this powerhouse blend, liquorice, fennel, and burdock root provide antioxidant support and further digestive benefits. These ingredients have been praised in various traditional practices for their ability to maintain gut health and promote overall wellness.
Your Go-To Digestive Aid
The next time your stomach is rumbling, and it isn’t from hunger, reach for a cup of Belly Becalm (Digestion). Simply grab the kettle, brew yourself a soothing cup, and settle in for a moment of calming comfort. Here’s to Hippocrates and the wisdom of nurturing our gut health—one sip at a time!
HOT BREWING METHOD:
Bring filtered or freshly drawn cold water to a rolling boil. Place 1 slightly heaping teaspoon of loose tea for each 7-9oz / 200-260ml of fluid volume in the teapot. Pour the boiling water into the teapot. Cover and let steep for 3-7 minutes according to taste (the longer the steeping time the stronger the tea). Milk and sugar are not recommended. Ideal Brewing Temperature: 100ºC/212ºF.
ICED TEA BREWING METHOD
(Pitcher): (to make 1 liter/quart): Place 6 slightly heaping teaspoons of herbal tea into a teapot or heat resistant pitcher. Using filtered or freshly drawn cold water, boil and pour 1¼ cups/315ml over the herbal tea. Steep for 5-10 minutes. Quarter fill a serving pitcher with cold water. Pour the tea into your serving pitcher, straining the tea. Add ice and top-up the pitcher with cold water. Garnish and sweeten to taste. A rule of thumb when preparing freshly brewed iced herb & fruit tea is to increase the strength of hot brew since it will be poured over ice and diluted with cold water.
(Individual Serving): Place 1 slightly heaping tea spoons of herbal tea into teapot for each serving required. Using filtered or freshly drawn cold water, boil and pour 6-7oz/170-200ml per serving over the herbal tea. Cover and let steep for 5-10 minutes. Add hot tea to a 12oz/375ml acrylic glass filled with ice, straining the tea. Not all of the tea will fit, allowing for approximately an additional ½ serving. Garnish and sweeten to taste. A rule of thumb when preparing freshly brewed herb & fruit tea is to increase the strength of hot tea since it will be poured over ice and diluted.
We strongly recommend using filtered or freshly drawn cold water brought to a rolling boil when brewing all types of tea. Today’s water has been known to carry viruses, parasites and bacteria. Boiling the water will kill these elements and reduce the potential incidence of water-borne illnesses.
