4. Improve Digestion
People with digestive conditions such as IBS, IBD, and celiac disease can also benefit from including mullein tea in their diet. People with gastrointestinal disorders suffer from abnormally high levels of inflammation in the digestive system, due to the food they eat and the body’s reaction to specific proteins and carbohydrates.
When a person with a digestive issue eats these foods, it results in the inflammation of the intestinal wall. This permeable barrier contains bacteria and pathogens in the gastrointestinal tract. However, when inflammation causes abnormal expansion of the wall, these harmful particles escape into the bloodstream.
As a result, the patient may start to notice the onset of the systemic inflammatory disease begin to show up in other areas of the body. People with arthritis may see an exacerbation of symptoms, and those patients dealing with skin issues like eczema may also experience flares.
Drinking mullein tea helps to reduce symptoms of digestive inflammation that leads to the formation of gas and cramps.
