Soothing GERD Naturally: Herbal Teas That Support Digestive Wellness

Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD) is a common condition that affects millions worldwide, causing discomfort such as heartburn, acid reflux, and indigestion. While medications are often prescribed, natural remedies—like herbal teas—can offer gentle yet effective support. At Tea Therapy Singapore, we believe in the power of nature to restore balance. Here are four time-honored herbs that can help manage GERD symptoms and how you can enjoy them in our handcrafted tea blends.

1. Chamomile – The Calming Digestive Ally

Chamomile is well-known for its soothing effects on both the mind and the stomach. This gentle herb helps reduce inflammation in the gastrointestinal tract and relaxes the muscles of the digestive system. For GERD sufferers, a cup of chamomile tea can provide relief from acid irritation and promote better sleep—another factor that plays a role in digestion.

2. Licorice Root – Natural Mucosal Protector

Licorice root, especially in its deglycyrrhizinated form (DGL), is prized for its ability to coat and protect the stomach lining. It helps increase mucus production, which acts as a barrier against stomach acid. This makes licorice root an effective herbal ally in managing GERD symptoms, reducing irritation and supporting healing of the esophagus.

3. Chrysanthemum – Cooling and Alkalizing

Chrysanthemum tea has been traditionally used in Chinese medicine to cool the body and calm inflammation. With its alkalizing properties, it may help neutralize excess stomach acid and reduce pressure on the lower esophageal sphincter (LES), a key factor in GERD flare-ups. Its floral aroma and light taste make it a pleasant and refreshing way to ease digestive distress.

4. Holy Basil (Tulsi) – Stress Relief for Better Digestion

Holy basil, also known as tulsi, is an adaptogenic herb that helps the body cope with stress—one of the silent contributors to GERD. It supports the production of stomach-friendly mucus, helps modulate acid levels, and can calm the nervous system, all of which contribute to a healthier digestive process.
