Angelica root

The blooming plant known as angelica is found all across the world. It tastes rather celery-like and earthy. Although this plant has been used in traditional medicine for thousands of years, angelica root in particular may help with digestion. A polysaccharide found in angelica root may prevent stomach injury by boosting the number of healthy cells and blood vessels in the digestive system, according to animal research. As a result, it could also aid patients who have ulcerative colitis, an inflammatory disorder that results in ulcers in the colon, in preventing intestinal damage brought on by oxidative stress.

Furthermore, angelica root was discovered to promote the release of intestinal acids in a test-tube investigation on human intestinal cells. As a result, it may aid in the relief of constipation. These findings imply that drinking angelica root tea may benefit digestive health, although no human trials have validated this. 1 tablespoon (14 grams) fresh or dried angelica root to 1 cup (250 ml) boiling water to prepare angelica root tea Allow it to steep for 5-10 minutes before straining and serving.
