Try these 8 tummy-friendly bedtime drinks
1. Chamomile tea
Chamomile tea calms the stomach and eases mild indigestion. Steep for five minutes and sip warm before bed to relax the gut and the mind. A single nightly cup may reduce bloating and help you sleep better.
2. Lemon and ginger tea
Warm lemon and ginger tea jump-starts digestion and eases nausea. Sip after dinner or before bed to help break down heavy meals. The blend soothes the stomach and reduces nighttime discomfort.
3. Fennel seed tea
Fennel seed tea relaxes gut muscles and helps expel trapped gas. Crush seeds and steep for ten minutes, then sip slowly to ease bloating. It is a classic evening remedy for a heavy tummy.
4. Peppermint tea
Peppermint tea soothes the digestive tract and eases cramping. It can relieve bloating and discomfort after meals for many people. Avoid peppermint if you get acid reflux or heartburn regularly.
5. Golden (turmeric) milk
Golden milk blends warm milk with turmeric for anti-inflammatory support. Add a pinch of black pepper to boost curcumin absorption for a better effect. This cosy drink supports digestion and can calm overnight inflammation.
6. Warm milk with honey
Warm milk with a teaspoon of honey calms the stomach and aids sleep. Choose dairy or plant milk to suit your tolerance and sip slowly before bed. The warmth soothes, and the honey adds gentle sweetness and comfort.
7. Kefir (probiotic drink)
A small glass of kefir supplies probiotics to support gut bacteria balance. Start with small servings to see how your digestion responds at night. Kefir is tangy, low in lactose, and fridge-friendly for daily use.
8. Aloe vera juice (small amounts)
Aloe vera juice can soothe the gut lining and aid digestion for some. Opt for low-latex, food-grade aloe and take small amounts at first. It may support digestion, but it can act as a laxative in higher doses.
