Healthy digestion is critical for overall wellness – to nourish the body, provide energy, support immune function and impact overall mood. Symptoms of a problematic digestive system include: bloating, indigestion and irregular bowel movements. According to Ayurveda, your ability to digest what you consume is fundamental to your wellbeing. This is why more people are going in search of the best supplements for digestion and bloating. One easy way to improve your digestion is to include herbs and spices in your daily diet. Taken regularly, they will not only benefit your meal with flavour, but can also support digestive function in numerous ways. Let’s learn more about three herbs for better digestion.
1. GINGER
Optimal digestion requires heat and increased blood flow to the digestive tract. Known for its warming characteristics in Ayurveda, Ginger is able to create a warm environment that is better for digestion and nutrient absorption. In addition, the pungent flavour of Ginger signals the release of gastric secretions to begin digestion. These digestive secretions are important to breakdown food, provide mucus to protect the stomach and intestinal lining, and increase the absorption of vitamins and minerals.

3. CHAMOMILE
