DIVERTICULI TEA

About Formula

Diverticuli Tea is a gentle but targeted herbal formula created for people who need support for colon pockets, irritated intestinal tissue, lower abdominal pressure, bloating, sluggish elimination, and digestive discomfort. It is designed to support the colon without the cramping, urgency, or harsh effects of stimulant laxative teas.

This formula focuses on the most important needs of the colon: soothing the intestinal lining, reducing irritation, encouraging regular elimination, easing gas and pressure, and helping maintain a cleaner, healthier intestinal environment. It also includes herbs traditionally used to discourage unwanted bacterial and microbial overgrowth in the gut.

Marshmallow Root and Slippery Elm provide a soft, mucilaginous coating that helps calm and protect irritated intestinal tissue. Dandelion Root supports digestive flow and gentle cleansing. Oregon Grape Root is traditionally used to discourage unwanted microbial activity in the gut and support a cleaner intestinal environment. Chamomile, Plantain Leaf, and Fennel help reduce discomfort, gas, cramping, and digestive tension.

HerbMan note: This is not a harsh laxative approach. The intestines often need soothing, coating, cooling, regular elimination, and cleaner gut support.

This tea is especially useful for:
– Colon pockets and related sensitivity
– Irritated intestinal tissue
– Lower abdominal pressure, gas, and bloating
– Sluggish or difficult bowel movements
– Supporting a cleaner intestinal environment
– Discouraging unwanted bacterial and microbial overgrowth in the gut
– Gentle daily colon support without harsh laxative action

This is a good tea for people who need gentle ongoing colon support without forcing the bowels or irritating the digestive tract.

About Herbs

Marshmallow Root (Althaea officinalis) – Traditionally used as a demulcent herb to soothe, coat, and moisten irritated tissues. Marshmallow Root is one of the key herbs in this formula for sensitive, dry, or irritated bowels.

Slippery Elm (Ulmus rubra) – Traditionally used to form a soft, protective mucilaginous coating in the digestive tract. It helps make the formula more soothing and bowel-friendly.

Dandelion Root (Taraxacum officinale) – Traditionally used to support liver function, bile flow, digestive movement, and gentle cleansing without acting like a harsh laxative.

Chamomile (Matricaria chamomilla) – Traditionally used to relax digestive tension, calm intestinal tightness, and soothe discomfort when the gut feels irritated or tense.

Oregon Grape Root (Mahonia aquifolium) – Traditionally used to support a cleaner intestinal environment and discourage unwanted bacterial and microbial overgrowth in the gut. This is one of the key herbs in the formula for gut cleanliness and microbial balance.

Plantain Leaf (Plantago major) – A cooling, soothing herb traditionally used to support irritated tissues and mucous membranes, including the lining of the digestive tract.

Fennel Seed (Foeniculum vulgare) – Traditionally used to ease gas, bloating, abdominal pressure, and digestive discomfort while improving the taste and digestive action of the formula.

HerbMan note: Marshmallow and Slippery Elm soothe and coat, while Oregon Grape adds deeper gut-environment support.

Together, these herbs make a soft, soothing, bowel-friendly formula for colon pockets, irritation, pressure, bloating, irregular elimination, and support for a cleaner intestinal environment.

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 makes a stronger, more soothing tea
– Strain well and drink warm or at room temperature

Suggested use: Use 1–3 cups daily as needed for ongoing intestinal and colon support.

HerbMan note: Longer steeping helps Marshmallow and Slippery Elm release their soothing, mucilaginous quality.

For best results, use consistently. This formula works best when taken daily long enough to soothe and support the intestinal lining and gut environment.

Tips & Notes

This is not a harsh colon cleanse or stimulant laxative tea. It is designed for soothing, coating, cooling, cleansing, supporting smoother elimination, and helping maintain a cleaner intestinal environment.

For colon and intestinal support, diet is very important. Avoid overeating, fried foods, heavy meats, excess cheese, processed foods, and foods that create constipation or intestinal pressure. Focus on soft cooked foods, soups, vegetables, warm water, and regular bowel movements.

HerbMan note: The tea supports the colon, but the diet has to stop aggravating constipation, gas, pressure, and irritation.

This tea is especially useful when the intestines feel irritated, pressured, bloated, sluggish, or sensitive. It may be used along with dietary changes to support smoother elimination, reduce recurring digestive discomfort, and maintain a cleaner gut environment.

This tea can be made lighter or stronger depending on your needs. Use less tea for a mild daily drink, or use more tea and steep longer for a thicker, stronger, more soothing infusion.
