  • German Chamomile helps regulate certain stomach muscles and aid in reducing stomach acidity;
  • Caraway helps relax certain intestinal muscles, reduces acidity in the stomach and helps relieve occasional indigestion when combined with peppermint;
  • Lemon Balm provides a calming effect while helping regulate stomach and intestinal muscles, and can also help reduce acidity;
  • Licorice helps support the gut lining, regulate stomach muscles and reduce acidity; and 
  • Peppermint helps support abdominal comfort, including relief from occasional bloating.
