DIVERTICULITIS TEA
DIVERTICULITIS TEA
Soothing & Coating • Mild Laxative • Infection-Fighting Support
DIVERTICULITIS TEA is a gentle but targeted colon-support formula made to soothe and coat irritated intestinal tissue, encourage mild elimination, reduce gas and pressure, and discourage unwanted microbial overgrowth within colon pockets.
100% Organic ingredients: Marshmallow Root, Slippery Elm, Dandelion Root, Chamomile, Oregon Grape Root, Plantain Leaf, Fennel Seed
HerbMan note: This tea is not made to force the bowels. It is made to soothe and coat the colon, provide mild laxative support, and discourage unwanted microbial overgrowth to help avoid infection in sensitive colon pockets. If constipation is still present, another suitable Ayurvedic colon formula or at least the Colon Tea may also be needed.
About Formula
About Formula
Diverticulitis Tea is a gentle but targeted herbal formula created for colon pockets, irritated intestinal tissue, lower abdominal pressure, bloating, sluggish elimination, and digestive discomfort.
From an Ayurvedic perspective, chronic constipation is a major contributing cause of diverticula forming in the colon in many cases. Years of hard, dry, or difficult bowel movements may increase pressure in the colon and contribute to the formation of these pockets. When the pockets become inflamed or infected, it is called diverticulitis.
This formula focuses on the three main needs of the colon: soothing and coating irritated tissue, supporting mild elimination, and discouraging unwanted bacterial and microbial overgrowth.
Soothing and coating the colon
Marshmallow Root and Slippery Elm provide a soft, mucilaginous coating that helps soothe, moisten, and protect irritated intestinal tissue. Plantain Leaf and Chamomile provide additional cooling and calming support.

Mild laxative support
Dandelion Root, Fennel Seed, and the moistening herbs help support digestive movement and easier elimination without the harsh action, urgency, or cramping associated with stimulant laxative teas.

Infection-fighting intestinal support
Oregon Grape Root is traditionally used to discourage unwanted bacterial and microbial overgrowth. This helps support colon pockets where trapped fecal matter may otherwise contribute to irritation, inflammation, or infection.

– Gentle ongoing colon support without harsh laxative action
HerbMan note: This is only a mild laxative tea. If chronic constipation is still present, another suitable Ayurvedic colon formula or at least the Colon Tea may be needed. If significant pain or infection has developed, stronger support may be required, and advanced cases may require a hospital visit.
This is a good tea for people who need daily colon support without forcing the bowels or further irritating the digestive tract.
About Herbs
About Herbs
Marshmallow Root (Althaea officinalis) – Traditionally used as a demulcent herb to soothe, coat, and moisten irritated tissues. It is one of the main herbs in this formula for dry, sensitive, or irritated bowels.
Slippery Elm (Ulmus rubra) – Traditionally used to form a soft, protective mucilaginous coating in the digestive tract. It helps soothe the colon and support easier bowel movements.
Dandelion Root (Taraxacum officinale) – Traditionally used to support liver function, bile flow, digestive movement, and gentle cleansing without acting as a strong laxative.
Chamomile (Matricaria chamomilla) – Traditionally used to relax digestive tension, calm intestinal tightness, and soothe discomfort when the colon feels irritated or inflamed.
Oregon Grape Root (Mahonia aquifolium) – Traditionally used for its infection-fighting action and to discourage unwanted bacterial and microbial overgrowth in the intestinal tract.
Plantain Leaf (Plantago major) – A cooling and soothing herb traditionally used to support irritated tissues and mucous membranes, including the intestinal lining.
Fennel Seed (Foeniculum vulgare) – Traditionally used to ease gas, bloating, abdominal pressure, cramping, and digestive discomfort while supporting digestive movement.
HerbMan note: Marshmallow Root and Slippery Elm provide the main soothing and coating action, while Oregon Grape Root provides deeper infection-fighting support. Dandelion Root and Fennel Seed help support mild digestive movement.
Together, these herbs provide soothing, mild laxative, digestive, and infection-fighting support for colon pockets, irritation, pressure, bloating, and sluggish elimination.
How to Take
How to Take
Use 1–2 teaspoons of loose-leaf tea per cup.
Hot tea instructions:
– Add the tea to a cup, tea strainer, or infuser
– Pour boiling water over the herbs
– Cover and steep for at least 15–30 minutes
– Longer steeping produces a thicker and more soothing tea
– Strain well and drink warm or at room temperature
– Add the tea to a cup, tea strainer, or infuser
– Pour boiling water over the herbs
– Cover and steep for at least 15–30 minutes
– Longer steeping produces a thicker and more soothing tea
– Strain well and drink warm or at room temperature
Suggested use: Drink 1–3 cups daily as needed for colon and intestinal support.
HerbMan note: Longer steeping is important because Marshmallow Root and Slippery Elm need time to release their soothing, mucilaginous qualities into the water.
For best results, use consistently. This formula works gradually and is intended to support the colon over time rather than force an immediate bowel movement.
Tips & Notes
Tips & Notes
This tea is not a strong laxative. If chronic constipation is still present, another suitable Ayurvedic colon formula or at least the Colon Tea may also be needed.
If significant pain or signs of infection have already developed, a stronger Ayurvedic infection-support formula may be needed. Advanced, severely inflamed, or very painful cases may require a hospital visit.
Diet is also very important. Avoid overeating, fried foods, heavy meats, excess cheese, processed foods, and foods that create constipation, gas, or intestinal pressure. Focus on soft cooked foods, soups, cooked vegetables, warm water, and regular bowel movements.
HerbMan note: If a person continues eating foods that cause constipation, gas, pressure, and irritation, the tea can only do so much. The tea supports the colon, but the diet must stop aggravating it.
Use less tea for a mild daily drink, or use more tea and steep longer for a thicker, stronger, and more soothing infusion.
