The digestive system is comprised of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract and is a series of connected organs along a thirty-foot pathway responsible for chewing food, digesting and absorbing nutrients, and expelling waste.
The digestive tract works closely with the immune system to protect the body from pathogens and invaders. The GI tract is exposed to high quantities of outside substances including bacteria and viruses and can almost be considered to be an exterior body surface.
Without the immune system, the long, dark, moist, GI tract would be ideal for pathogenic colonization. In return, the digestive system assists the immune system in protecting the rest of the body by breaking down bacteria and pathogens and various stages, starting with lysozyme in the saliva.
Understanding how the digestive tract works in our bodies, helps us know how to best help and support it. Good nutrition, exercise, reducing stress load are just a few of the natural ways we can support our digestive health.
There are also essential oils that can help with this support.
There is a blend of oils called digestive blend that contains a proprietary blend of Ginger, Peppermint, Tarragon, Fennel, Caraway, Coriander and Anise essential oils. Using this blend or using the oils separately, are a great way at promoting healthy digestion and maintaining a healthy gastrointestinal tract.
In addition to rubbing this oil on or taking in a capsule, these essential oils can be made into a delicious, soothing tea. It will help ease feelings of queasiness, gas, bloating and/or occasional indigestion.
