Digestion is an issue for everyone – we all eat, therefore we all process food. But, while some people are lucky enough to never have digestive troubles (increased burping, reflux, abdominal cramping, flatulence, constipation), most of us, at some time in our lives, need a little help finding relief.
There are lots of products on the market to help with digestion, ranging from prescription drugs (such as Nexium to relieve heartburn) to over-the-counter stool softeners (such as Colace, to relieve constipation). And while there are pros and cons for each of these treatments (and everything in between), they’re not preventative, i.e. they treat the effects of digestive troubles, not the cause.
But research now suggests there may be a much simpler, cheaper, and effective way to help our digestive systems help themselves — tea.
