Peppermint & Chamomile Relaxing Digestive Tea

When digestion feels tight, crampy, or reactive, herbalists often begin with aromatic and gently calming herbs. Peppermint has a long history of use for digestive tension, while chamomile offers both digestive and nervous system support.

This tea reflects a traditional approach of easing constriction by relaxing smooth muscle and calming the gut–brain connection.
