This topic has received a lot of attention over recent years and for good reason. The health of your gut plays a crucial role in your overall health. Did you know that 70 – 80% of the immune system resides in the gut? In fact, one of the main roles of the gut is immune function. The immune cells in your gut need to be able to sort through all you ingest and tell the difference between healthy bacteria and pathogens, toxins, and nutrients, and protect against anything else you don’t want in your body.

For our bodies to function properly, it is important we give it the right nutrients. The food choices we make have a big impact on our health either for the better or for the worse. A balanced diet of unprocessed fresh foods, eating all the colours of the rainbow, and organic if possible, is certainly the best way to give our gut the fuel it needs to thrive.

Whole food supplements, herbs and spices also have a role to play when it comes to gut health. They can positively influence the health of the gut microbiome and promote a healthy gut flora. While the herbs and spices used in our organic herbal tea range won’t cure gut health issues, they will aid to empower you to support gut health by strengthening your gut and digestion, promoting overall well-being.

Will you have the ‘guts’ to try them?
