Dr. Kottas Throat Tea

St. Severin Aqua Menthae has a less intense peppermint scent than the pure essential oil. However, the cooling and clarifying effect of the plant remains. It is used for general fatigue, nausea, and tension. The refreshing effect on the skin relaxes and loosens the underlying tissues, even revitalizing tired legs. The relaxing property of peppermint water also benefits the digestive tract and the organs involved in digestion, such as the gallbladder. When the food pulp is transported through the gastrointestinal tract in a timely manner and does not remain too long in any part, fewer unpleasant digestive gases can develop. Recommended use: Take 1 teaspoon several times daily as needed. Ingredients: Water, peppermint oil. Peppermint water contains an aqueous solution with essential peppermint oil.

The feeling of an overfilled stomach after a lavish meal is unpleasant. The abdomen is bloated, and the digestive tract is overwhelmed. The artichoke (Cynara scolymus), known for its pleasantly bitter to mildly tart flavor, owes this to bitter compounds such as cynaropicrin. In addition, the artichoke contains substances such as flavonoids and caffeoylquinic acid derivatives. All these compounds support digestion, promote stomach acid production, and stimulate bile flow. It is no coincidence that this impressive plant was named "Medicinal Plant of the Year" in 2003. Milk thistle (Silybum marianum) also contains valuable ingredients, especially silymarin, as well as flavonoids, essential oils, and resins. These phytochemicals support the digestion of fatty meals and reduce the feeling of fullness. Recommended use: As needed, spray 1 - 2 sprays directly into the mouth 2 - 3 times daily.
