There is no better natural remedy for weakened digestion than the power of medicinal herbs – says Milica Jovičić, a well-known herbalist from Mokra Gora, who has been helping people with digestive tract problems for decades. She inherited her experience from her grandmother and today shares it with all who seek relief without chemicals.
The secret of successful therapy: Traditional knowledge and an herbal blend
Grandmother Milica treats, for example, stomach inflammations, stomach hernias, irritable bowel syndrome and heartburn. Before prescribing an herbal tea she performs a simple examination using three sensitive points on the body – the hand, the foot and under the shoulder.
A blend of six medicinal herbs for the stomach:
- St. John’s wort
- Common yarrow
- Rosehip
- Thyme
- Mint
- Chamomile
Fenugreek, rosehips and coltsfoot: Herbs that really work
Fenugreek protects the gastric mucosa, rosehip supports digestion and coltsfoot relieves inflammation and excess acidity. They help with stomach neuroses and loss of appetite.
Other recommended herbs:
- Flaxseed – forms a protective mucilage in cases of stomach inflammation
- Comfrey (root) – regenerates the digestive mucous membranes
- Ožanka (hrobárka) – detoxifies, supports liver function
Rock rose as a remedy
Juice from rock rose leaves mixed with olive oil (1:1) is taken on an empty stomach for stomach ulcers. It must not be heated or combined with alcohol.
Ožanka tea
Ingredients: 1 teaspoon of dried herb, 200 ml of boiling water
Preparation: Steep for 10 minutes, strain and drink 2–3× daily for 3 weeks.
Conclusion
The herbs recommended by Grandmother Milica not only improve digestion but also support the regeneration of the whole organism. They help with ulcers, inflammations, digestive disorders and with stress. People’s experiences confirm that with regular use a significant improvement in health can occur without side effects.
