Digestion

Hinga Shtak is the most classic and widely used of all Ayurvedic herbal formulas for supporting healthy digestion. It is a combination of warming, spicy, pungent carminative herbs, designed to support normal digestion and assimilation, especially useful for alleviating the occasional gas and bloating that occurs with indigestion. This blend also includes atractylodes, a highly regarded Chinese digestive tonic, and dandelion root, a valuable digestive bitter from the European and American herbal traditions.

The rhizomes of ginger (Zingiber officinalis) have been used since antiquity for their ability to support digestive and assimilative functions.

The use of bitter herbs has been an integral part of almost every herbal tradition in the world. Extensively used in Europe, herbal bitters help enhance digestion and assimilation by stimulating taste receptors on the tongue. This increases the flow of bile from the liver, which supports both digestion and the body's natural cleansing processes. Bitters are especially beneficial when taken after a heavy meal. Planetary Herbals Digestive Grape Bitters™ provides you with three main classes of bitter herbs - tonic, warming, and aromatic bitters.
