Lemon

Lemons are citrus fruits that improve digestion. Lemons make the fat absorption process easier and they can also neutralize excess acid in the stomach. Because of this, lemons are ideal for fighting heartburn and a heavy stomach, as well as other digestive problems.

Ceylon Cinnamon

Ceylon cinnamon is a spice that has many good properties. For example, it helps us to improve stomach acid secretion, regulates blood sugar levels, fights flatulence and prevents stomach ulcers from forming, which are caused by acid buildup.

Fennel

Although it is not a laxative, fennel prevents constipation. It also promotes the elimination of gases so that we can avoid irritating and painful flatulence. Fennel’s anti-inflammatory properties also make it a good remedy for colitis and gastritis. It also tastes delicious.

Lemon balm

Lemon balm is a plant that effectively treats psychosomatic problems with digestion. This type of digestive problem is caused by emotional problems and nervousness. Furthermore, this plant gets rid of flatulence, indigestion and bad breath.

Mint

Thanks to its carminative properties, mint is very effective in relieving bloating and flatulence. Furthermore, it helps us relax our abdominal muscles. It is also ideal to use mint to treat acid reflux.

Turmeric

This spice helps digestion and improves the function of the liver and gallbladder. In addition, turmeric is an anti-inflammatory, analgesic and anti-carcinogenic spice. This is why we need to include it in our diet.
