Mushroom tea has quickly become an extremely trendy beverage–and for good reason. Preferred by celebrities such as Gwyneth Paltrow and Mischa Barton, mushroom tea packs a powerful brain-boosting punch and can even help make you feel younger! Plus it contains antioxidants to fight free radical damage, anti-aging benefits, weight loss support, caffeine-free consumption (not that any coffee-drinker will notice!) as well as weight management benefits! However, mushroom tea shouldn’t replace coffee consumption, and can be difficult for those used to their daily dose – especially those suffering bloating or sensitive stomachs!

Mushroom teas may have gained in popularity for their immune-enhancing benefits, yet may cause discomfort to those suffering from digestive disorders. Functional mushrooms (such as lion’s mane, chaga and reishi) may exacerbate any existing conditions as well as being high-FODMAP foods that create gas which leads to bloating in IBS sufferers.

Additionally, mushrooms found in these types of teas are unregulated and not subject to FDA oversight, meaning there is limited research regarding their effect on digestive health. Therefore it’s advisable to speak to either your gastroenterologist or general practitioner before beginning taking new supplements.

No matter if it’s chemotherapy, acid reflux, or simply being queasy from a flu, nausea can strike at any time and anyplace. But this feeling doesn’t need to derail your day – here are some natural strategies to manage and overcome nausea:

Breathe Deeply: Breathing deeply for several minutes can help soothe your stomach while simultaneously increasing feelings of wellbeing. Take a stroll outdoors for some fresh air or listen to soothing music to help alleviate nausea. Try Acupressure: Applying consistent pressure at specific points on the body may stimulate nerves and trigger your brain into producing antinausea hormones; simple acupressure bracelets can be found at pharmacies; simply place one around your wrist!

Before drinking mushroom tea, eating a light, healthy snack may help prepare the digestive system and ensure all the benefits from mushrooms can enter your system. Even something as simple as toast will do the trick to ensure nutrients from mushrooms enter your system quickly and effectively.

Drink tea with milk: Incorporating dairy-based beverages such as tea into your tea-drinking regimen can help to soothe an upset stomach, by coating the digestive tract and absorbing inflammation and tannins that cause nausea. Try switching up to plant-based milk so as to avoid direct contact between tannins and your stomach lining.

Avoiding caffeine and overeating fatty foods prior to drinking your tea can help minimize nausea, as can choosing an effective blend of mushroom tea. Reishi mushrooms tea has proven itself as an effective calming herb while helping alleviate stress levels as well.
