Today’s challenge is all about digestion, which is SUPER connected to your pelvic health! You’ll learn how to make an anti-inflammatory tummy tea for digestion, and a routine that includes my favorite twists for digestion.

🌀 The "twists for digestion" stretches begin at: 09:13

☕ Anti-Inflammatory Tummy Tea for Digestion (can help upset stomach, stomach pain, gas, bloating, constipation, and diarrhea)... Notes and Recipe:

To brew the best cup of tea, use fresh ingredients – organic whenever possible. Be careful about the quality to avoid pesticides, herbicides, or mold. Also, be aware that compounds in some teas may interact with your medications. Consult your healthcare practitioner if you have concerns about possible interactions.

Use any combination of the following ingredients: fresh ginger root, dried fennel seeds, dried peppermint, and/or dried Holy Basil (Tulsi).

These ingredients have different extraction methods and times:
● Ginger root is best simmered for a longer period (approx 10 minutes, then turn off the heat and steep until ready to drink)
● Fennel seeds are best simmered for 3-5 minutes
● Peppermint and Holy Basil do NOT need to be simmered; rather, they need to steep for 5-10 minutes

NOTE: You can use all the ingredients, just one of the ingredients, or any combination that you like best. If you’re just using one ingredient (rather than making the recipe below), then you’ll want to increase the amount of your single ingredient to create the potency that you prefer!

RECIPE: In the video, I simmered 4-5 slices of ginger root in 4 cups water. I let the ginger simmer for 5 minutes. Then I added ½ tsp fennel seed (you can lightly crush the seeds if desired, but I left mine whole) and simmered the seeds with the ginger root for another 5 minutes. Next, I turned off the heat and added 1 Tablespoon of peppermint and 1 Tablespoon of Holy Basil. I put the lid on the pot and let everything steep together for 5-10 minutes. Then I strained it into a mug to drink. Leftovers can be strained into a storage container to drink throughout the day.
