Herbal Gut Support
Herbal Support for Gut Healing
An integral part of the Laguna Gut Protocol
Science-backed, soul-nourishing remedies to restore the health of your digestive system — naturally.
Your gut isn’t just a digestive organ — it’s an immune hub, emotional center, and healing gateway for the whole body.
When inflammation, leaky gut, IBD, IBS, colitis, crohn's or chronic stress disrupt that balance, it takes more than a probiotic or elimination diet to truly heal.
That’s where herbal medicine shines.
The Laguna Gut Protocol is built around time-tested plants that soothe, rebuild, and regulate your digestive system from the inside out. Whether you're managing a long-standing condition like colitis, navigating food sensitivities, or recovering from stress-related gut issues, these formulas offer targeted, layered support:
- Teas to comfort, rebuild your gut biome and calm inflammation
- Tinctures to repair and seal the gut lining while promoting a healthy gut biome
- Extracts to balance immune overactivity
- Bitters to awaken sluggish digestion
Each remedy is formulated with care — using organic or wildcrafted ingredients, synergistic blends, and decades of herbal wisdom — so your body can finally do what it’s designed to do: heal.
IBD Relief Tea
Targeted relief for flares, inflammation, and gut-brain tension
This soothing herbal tea is crafted specifically for those managing ulcerative colitis, Crohn’s disease, and chronic IBS flares. It blends mucilaginous, anti-inflammatory, and nervine herbs to calm the gut lining, regulate immune responses, and ease tension throughout the digestive tract.
Why It Works:
- Marshmallow root + licorice root coat and protect the gut lining, reducing irritation and promoting healing
- Skullcap + lemon balm calm the enteric nervous system, reducing cramping and spasm
- Meadowsweet reduces acid and inflammation without harming the gut lining (unlike NSAIDs)
- Ginger enhances motility and soothes nausea
Herbal Actions:
- Demulcent
- Nervine
- Carminative
- Anti-inflammatory
Best Used For:
- Sipping during active flares
- Daily maintenance for IBD/IBS
- Reducing gut pain and anxiety
How to Use:
Steep 1–2 tsp per cup, covered, for 10–15 minutes. Drink 1–3 times per day between meals.
Gut Repair Extract
Seal the gut wall. Soothe inflammation. Promote long-term repair.
This concentrated tincture targets the root issue of leaky gut: intestinal permeability. By coating, cooling, and restoring the gut lining, it helps reduce food sensitivities, support nutrient absorption, and build digestive resilience over time.
Why It Works:
- Slippery elm + plantain leaf form a mucosal barrier that protects against irritation
- Licorice root (deglycyrrhizinated) soothes inflammation and balances cortisol, a key factor in gut permeability
- Calendula stimulates tissue regeneration
- Chamomile reduces gut-brain reactivity and smooth muscle spasms
Herbal Actions:
- Demulcent
- Anti-inflammatory
- Vulnerary (tissue healing)
- Adaptogenic (via licorice)
Best Used For:
- Post-antibiotic or flare gut repair
- Leaky gut syndrome
- Post-meal bloating, fatigue, or food reactivity
How to Use:
Take 1–2 full droppers in a small amount of water 2x daily, before meals or on an empty stomach.
Digestive Bitters Tonic
Support stronger digestion from the very first bite
Our classic bitter formula activates your digestive system, encouraging better enzyme and bile production — essential for breaking down food, absorbing nutrients, and preventing bloating or sluggish elimination.
Why It Works:
- Gentian root triggers a cascade of digestive secretions
- Dandelion root stimulates bile for fat digestion + liver support
- Orange peel improves stomach tone and relieves gas
- Angelica + ginger warm and enliven the gut, improving motility
Herbal Actions:
- Bitter tonic
- Carminative
- Cholagogue (bile stimulant)
- Warming digestive stimulant
Best Used For:
- Bloating, gas, or heaviness after meals
- Poor nutrient absorption
- Support before high-protein or fatty meals
- Breaking the cycle of “slow digestion”
How to Use:
Take 10–20 drops in a splash of water 5–15 minutes before meals.
Autoimmune Gut Support Extract
Target immune imbalance + calm deep inflammation in IBD and colitis
This specialized formula is for those managing autoimmune gut conditions like Crohn’s, ulcerative colitis, and immune-triggered IBS. It helps modulate overactive immune responses, reduce chronic inflammation, and restore gut–brain–immune balance.
Why It Works:
- Reishi mushroom acts as an immune modulator — not a suppressant — balancing cytokine levels
- Ashwagandha supports adrenal resilience, lowering cortisol and systemic stress
- Turmeric (with piperine) reduces gut inflammation via NF-κB inhibition
- Boswellia blocks pro-inflammatory leukotrienes — often elevated in IBD
- Milky oats restore and rebuild the stressed-out nervous system
Herbal Actions:
- Immune modulating
- Anti-inflammatory
- Nervine trophorestorative
- Adaptogenic
Best Used For:
- Active IBD flare recovery
- Ongoing autoimmune digestive care
- Whole-body inflammation tied to gut dysfunction
- Supporting nervous system repair during or after flare cycles
How to Use:
Take 1–2 full droppers daily in water, or as directed by a practitioner. May be split between morning + evening for deeper regulation.
