If you’ve overindulged on festive feasts or one too many mince pies this festive season, you’re not alone. Between rich food, celebratory drinks, and endless grazing on cheese boards, the holiday season is notoriously tough on digestion. But the good news? Nature has a remedy for that.

In this guide, we’ll explore the herbs traditionally used to calm bloating, ease indigestion, and restore post-party balance, plus the NutraTea blends that make feeling good again as simple as boiling the kettle.

Why festive indulgence takes its toll

Christmas dinner may be a highlight of the season, but all that deliciousness can leave your digestive system working overtime.

Heavy, fatty foods slow stomach emptying, sugar can cause bloating, and alcohol irritates the gut lining, a combination that often leads to discomfort, sluggishness, and that familiar “I can’t move” feeling after a big meal.

Herbal teas offer a simple, soothing way to support digestion naturally. Many contain carminative herbs which help ease gas and bloating, bitter herbs that stimulate digestive enzymes, and warming spices that boost circulation and metabolism.

 

Lemongrass & Ginger – warmth and movement after big meals

This invigorating blend is a go-to after hearty feasts.

Ginger has been used for centuries to ease nausea, reduce bloating, and stimulate healthy digestion, while lemongrass adds gentle brightness and may help calm the stomach.

Together, they support circulation and digestion, perfect for when you’ve eaten a little more than planned.

Spearmint & White Peony – soothing and balancing for the gut

Refreshing yet gentle, this blend helps calm digestive discomfort and ease bloating. Among the many spearmint tea uses, digestive support is one of the most well known – spearmint naturally relaxes the muscles of the gastrointestinal tract and helps reduce trapped gas. White peony, meanwhile, brings a subtle balancing effect, helping to settle both body and mind after indulgence.

Liquorice & Cinnamon – natural comfort and balance

Sweet, spicy, and soothing, this blend offers warmth and comfort after rich meals.
Liquorice root helps coat and calm the stomach lining, while cinnamon supports circulation and balances blood sugar levels, a welcome ally during dessert season.
It’s the perfect evening choice when you want to relax, digest, and reset.

NutraReflux – cooling relief for indigestion and acid discomfort

If you tend to experience heartburn or acid reflux after festive feasting, NutraReflux provides targeted herbal support.

Formulated with ingredients traditionally used to soothe and protect the digestive tract, this blend helps relieve irritation and promote balance in the upper digestive system. It’s a natural alternative when you need comfort without over-the-counter remedies.

NutraCleanse – a gentle reset for your system

After a season of indulgence, this detox-supportive blend helps you feel lighter and more balanced.

Containing burdock root, fennel, artichoke, and dandelion root, NutraCleanse supports healthy liver and kidney function, aids natural detoxification, and helps reduce fluid retention and bloating. It’s the perfect choice for easing into the new year feeling refreshed.

 

 

How to get your digestion back on track

• Avoid lying down right after eating, a gentle walk can do wonders.
• Eat slowly and chew thoroughly to give your stomach a head start.
• Balance rich meals with lighter, fibre-rich foods when you can.

 

A calmer, happier gut for the season ahead

Feeling sluggish after a festive feast doesn’t have to be part of the tradition. With the right herbal support, you can enjoy every bite of the season, and still feel light, balanced, and comfortable.
