When it comes to calming digestive discomfort, few remedies are as soothing as a warm cup of herbal tea. Many common herbs and spices found right in your kitchen can offer relief from temporary symptoms while supporting long-term digestive wellness. Here, I’m sharing three of my favorite herbal teas for digestion and gut health.
#1 Orange Spiced Chai
Warming spices and bright citrus come together in this delicious, caffeine-free chai. Featuring good-for-your gut herbs, this tea increases the flow of oxygen and blood to the digestive tract, enhancing digestive function. Whether you enjoy it in the morning or after dinner, this chai will support short- and long-term digestive happiness.

#2 Cumin, Coriander, and Fennel Tea
One of my favorite teas for digestion, cumin, coriander, and fennel tea helps with bloating, indigestion, intestinal spasms, gas, and nausea. This trio of aromatic and carminative herbs can also help relax a nervous, upset stomach. And it’s great for children with belly aches, sore tummies, and mild constipation.

#3 Basil Tea
Basil isn’t just an ingredient for spaghetti and pesto! If you ever feel like passing out after dinner, drink a cup of basil and honey tea. A simple cup of this tea works wonders for almost any digestive complaint and relieves nausea, gas, constipation, stomach cramps, and that uncomfortable feeling after a heavy meal.
