The Importance of Gut Health
The gut does a lot more than you think. Gut health can impact all aspects of your overall health, both mentally and physically.
Bloating, in particular, is a common gut issue that can be triggered by a range of factors, including things like overeating, food intolerances, and even underlying digestive disorders. And let’s be honest, it really sucks to feel bloated in a pair of non-stretch jeans.
If you’re someone who experiences frequent bloating and you’ve exhausted other options, natural gut health supplements may be the next best approach.
Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) Approach to Gut Health
Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) has been around for thousands of years. From chronic pain to digestive issues, TCM has been known to aid in treating a wide range of health concerns.
TCM considers the digestive system as a balanced and harmonious relationship between the spleen and the stomach. Bloating and other digestive issues, like constipation, can disrupt this harmonious relationship.
However, TCM offers a holistic approach to addressing these issues, rather than trying to address them individually.
Supplements for Bloating & Digestion
Taking supplements for bloating and digestion is a smart way to support overall gut health. Unlike some medications, herbal supplements are natural and can relieve a range of digestive problems.
They may also be taken in conjunction with other types of digestive treatments if approved by your doctor.
