Brittany shares how the digestive system connects to the nervous system and immune system, and why so many modern health struggles may begin in the gut. You’ll learn practical herbs for common digestive issues, including chamomile, peppermint, and ginger for upset stomachs, marshmallow root and flax for constipation, blackberry leaf and slippery elm for diarrhea support, and how digestive bitters like dandelion root can strengthen digestion over time. She also explains where turmeric fits into daily gut support and briefly touches on parasite-cleansing herbs in a balanced, realistic way. This episode focuses on gentle, daily herbal support — not extreme cleanses — and how small, consistent habits can help you build a healthier digestive system over time. https://thehomesteadchallenge.com/what-are-herbal-bitters/","meta_description":"In this episode of The Homestead Challenge Podcast, we’re talking all about gut health — from mouth to intestines and everything in between.
