How to Support Better Digestive Health Naturally

From your mouth to the stomach, liver, pancreas, intestines, and so on, your digestive system does a lot for you. Every day, it breaks down nutrients that your body absorbs and uses for energy, growth, and cell repair. Though you might not expect it, your gut health impacts all kinds of processes in your body, like immune and nervous system function.

With everything your digestive system does for you, why not do something for it? Here are some tips to care for and support your digestive system naturally.*

1. Eat right. Fill your diet with healthy, nutritious, and fibrous foods. Your body—including your digestive system—needs good fuel to stay healthy and thrive. Getting enough fiber will especially help your digestion. One easy way to boost your fiber intake is with the doTERRA Fiber supplement.* It’s a delicious powdered drink that makes getting more fiber super simple.


2. Take a probiotic. In addition to eating things that are rich in good bacteria, like yogurt and fermented foods, taking a probiotic helps provide your gut with more healthy microbes. PB Assist+^® is a proprietary formula of prebiotic fiber and six strains of probiotic microorganisms, all in a unique double capsule with a time-release delivery system.
   


3. Get those enzymes. Your body uses what are called digestive enzymes to help digest your food, get nutrients, and metabolism to nutrients into energy. You can support your body’s constant production of these enzymes by eating plenty of raw whole foods. You can also offer it extra support by taking DigestZen TerraZyme^® Digestive Enzyme Complex.* It contains a blend of active whole-food enzymes, supporting cofactors that are often deficient in cooked, processed, and preservative-laden foods.

Tummy Trouble Tips

You can address the occasional tummy troubles that come tumbling your way with pure essential oils. DigestZen^® Softgels can help reduce gas and bloating and soothe occasional indigestion and stomach upset.* Peppermint Enteric-Coated Softgels are also an excellent natural solution. They support gastrointestinal comfort and provide digestive relief to the lower intestine.* They’re also excellent for helping reduce occasional gas, bloating, and other digestive difficulties.*

For the younger members of the family, Tamer^® from the doTERRA Kids Collection comes in a roller bottle for convenient application when soothing is needed. Its calming aroma, combined with an abdomen massage, can work wonders. Keep Tamer in your purse or bring it on road trips so it’s handy anytime.
