Digestive Teas – Getting Ready for the Holidays!

November is here and the holiday season is just around the corner.

This is the time of the year to toss out any plans of dieting! Be it sweet or savory, it is hard to resist all the amazing delicacies that come with the season.

Why should you be prepared?

Even if you plan not to eat too much or just eat healthy food, there is always the risk of eating that one thing that ruins the whole day for you.

Sometimes your stomach is just not ready for the heavy digestion some of seasoning and sauces winter dishes require.

It has been more than 10 years and I still remember how all the family got sick from eating oysters on Christmas day. It was a thoughtful experiment, but I’m not touching the stuff again as long as I remember the stomachaches.

So the idea here is to suggest a few herbal teas that you can stock up on prior to the holidays so that you don’t have to find an open shop when you can barely move.

Herbal Tea Suggestions

Here is a list of herbs that can help you digest food better, but at the same time, they are also great seasoning herbs that you can resort to for any last minute cooking.

• Anise – this herb comes in seed or powder form. It has a sweet aroma very appropriate for the season as it is often used for baking cookies. This herbal tea helps to fight indigestion. Learn more here!


• 
  Cinnamon – This is an essential herb during the holidays! Cakes and cookies require cinnamon so don’t worry, it will not go to waste. This spice brews a wonderfully warm and sweet tea that helps your whole digestive track. Find out other benefits of this tea here.


• Dill – either fresh or dried, this herb is a very common seasoning herb. Use it your dishes, but save some for a surge of heartburn. Find more benefits of dill tea here.


• Ginger – this is a great herb not just for the holidays, but for the whole winter season. It adds a spicy flavor to any dish and also brews a tea that may treat nausea and also soothe a bad cold. Find out more here.


• 
  Lavender – Have you ever made lavender-scented cookies? This could a great idea for a gift this year. At the same time lavender may be brewed as a calming tea that helps to relieve digestive cramping. Learn about it here.

Of course there are many other herbal teas that are great for your digestion, which are also very useful when cooking during the holidays, such as:

• Peppermint


• Sage


• Thyme

Other Suggestions to Spice Up your Holidays!

• If you are serving heavy dishes this holiday season, take some preventive action. After each meal serve a cup of herbal tea as a non-alcoholic digestif and prevent indigestion before it has time to set in.


• Create a tea bar: set up on a side table with small mason jars with herbs (remember to label each jar); have mugs ready with infusers. Have the water kettle ready for use and let each person brew an herbal tea as needed.


• If you have family coming over, purchase those small mug or cup identifiers. In my family we are only 6 to 8 people for Christmas and it doesn’t take much for one of us to lose track of which mug is whose.


• And remember, if you have been in the kitchen all day making sure there is enough delicious food for everyone: you, too, deserve a break. So sit down and have a nice cup of tea to help you relax and restore your energy.

These are just some simple tips to inspire you and reduce the stress of the holiday season!
