Lots of us experience digestive problems, some of us only occasionally after a food-binge or perhaps a careless selection of menu items. Others suffer on a regular basis, seems no matter what we eat (or don’t eat) our digestive system assails us continuously. There are many herbs that have been used over the years to help ease digestive complaints. Some quite effective and some not so.
For occasional upset tummies, very often an infusion of chamomile (which is a member of the ragweed family, so those who are allergic to ragweed should exercise caution), fennel seed, or peppermint, either singly or in combination will ease the temporary discomfort. Papaya leaf has been useful in correcting under-acidity, whereas anise seed may relieve over-acidity. One herbalist recommends sprinkling cayenne pepper liberally over your food, or alternately using cayenne in capsules. I know this sounds crazy, but it really does help in many cases. A good rule of thumb to follow when making herbal infusions is 1 to 1½ teaspoons of herb to 8 ounces of boiling water. Pour the water over the herb and allow to steep for 10-15 minutes.
