Rose Bud Herbal Tea for Sensitive Tummies

‘tis the season of hot pot, crowding around a warm grill at kbbq, and staying warm with friends. where nights are spent indulging with chili oil that makes your tongue tingle, and salty, savory foods that feel like a hug in the middle of winter 🥶

but you don’t need to deal with the heavy, “rock-in-your-stomach” bloating the next morning when you’ve got me in your corner to teach you a few ancient secrets, that’ll help clear that heat and soothe the irritation ☯️

in Chinese medicine, the combination of grease and spice is a recipe for damp-heat. think of your digestion as a fire. When you add heavy oils (dampness) and spice (heat), you aren’t just eating; you’re creating a humid, stagnant “swamp” in your gut. and pouring ice water onto that swamp, doesn’t clear it. you freeze the grease, douse your digestive fire, and lock in that bloat…but these ingredients help to break up the grease while gently getting the digestion going again, without the irritation!

at a bare minimum, you’ll need the orange peel helps to break up the grease, and the ginger for digestion, without making the “heat” from spice worse. but when you’ve really gone all out on the spicy broth and salty meats, you need these heavy hitters to move everything out of your system.

• Lotus Leaf: This is the ultimate “anti-grease” herb, used to get the fat and bitterness out of your system
• Poria Cubes: These are my favorite for the “morning after” puffiness. Poria is a medicinal mushroom that acts like a gentle sponge. It finds the excess sodium bloat and move it out.
• Rose Buds: Helps to soothe all that irritation your system just went through!
