" In the evening, after dinner, I always make myself a herbal tea that I enjoy in peace, with two squares of dark chocolate. " Mathilde Lacombe, the co-founder of Aime, is no exception to this ritual.

A herbal tea is much more than a simple hot drink, especially if it is prepared with plants selected for their benefits on the body, and in particular on digestion and sleep, two essential pillars of well-being.

" Herbal and plant infusions stimulate the secretion of digestive enzymes, including peppermint, fennel, anise, and verbena, and therefore promote gastric emptying ," explains Claire Borwin, Dietitian and Nutritionist. " In addition, this action hydrates the digestive system and helps thin gastric juices for better elimination later on. "

The Fact We Love: Heat relaxes the muscles of the stomach and intestines, limiting spasms and bloating. Its pleasant and soothing effect stimulates the parasympathetic nervous system, which also puts the body in good condition.

What is the best digestive herbal tea?

Certain plants are particularly beneficial for supporting your digestive system:

- Verbena: perfect for calming bloating and soothing a stressed stomach.

- Ginger: ideal for stimulating digestion and reducing nausea.

- Turmeric: a powerful anti-inflammatory that helps protect and soothe the intestine.

The right choice? The Aime x L'infuseur infusion is ideal after a meal to enjoy a light stomach and a moment of well-being. Simply let the equivalent of a teaspoon of herbal tea infuse for 5 minutes in a cup of simmering water at 95°.

This warming infusion revitalizes the body and mind, in the evening or at any time of day. A delight to be enjoyed without moderation!
