Tea to Support Colon Health 🍵
A Gentle Herbal Recipe for Digestion & Regularity
Herbal teas have long been used to support digestion, ease bloating, and encourage natural bowel regularity. While the body already has its own detox systems, certain herbs can gently assist the colon by improving digestion and hydration—without harsh laxatives.
This tea is mild, soothing, and suitable for regular use when consumed responsibly.
