Heal Your Gut With Medicinal Plants

Your gut is an important part of your digestive system. They are responsible for both absorbing nutrients and removing toxins. It is therefore important that you take care of their health and that you keep them clean and free of toxins. We explain how to heal your gut with some great medicinal plants.

How do you know your gut needs to be healed

• It is easy to recognize. This happens a lot to everyone:  gas, constipation, diarrhea and even the classic white tongue,  which causes a strange taste in the mouth if you have a problem with your gut.
• Also pay close attention to your stress levels. As you know, your lifestyle affects the health of your gut. This is where the nerves pile up until they cause all kinds of health effects.

• We should also note that it is best to detox your gut regularly. You have to keep them clean to lower the concentration of toxins in your body. For example, remember that the small intestine has to carry food to your blood.
  • So if there are a lot of toxins built up, they will naturally be transferred to the blood. That can be dangerous. The most obvious symptoms of this phenomenon are, for example, dry or wrinkled skin, skin problems, pain in the kidneys or liver, fatigue… Keep an eye on all of this.
