Two-Herb Gut Tea: A Simple, Powerful Digestive Tonic with Chen Pi & Shan Zha

If your digestion feels heavy, slow, or uncomfortable—especially after eating fatty or rich meals—you don’t need a complicated cleanse or bitter detox pills. Sometimes, the most effective support comes from simple, time-tested herbs that have been used for centuries.

Meet the Two-Herb Gut Tea, a traditional digestive tonic made with just two powerful ingredients from Chinese herbal medicine: Chen Pi (Aged Tangerine Peel) and Shan Zha (Hawthorn Berry). Both herbs are provided in cut form, ready to be steeped into a warm, comforting tea that supports bloating relief, digestive flow, and nutrient absorption.

Whether you drink it daily or as needed, this easy tea blend can quickly become your go-to ritual for gut balance—especially after overindulging.

This two-herb gut tonic features Chen Pi (Aged Tangerine Peel) and Shan Zha (Hawthorn Berry), both in cut form, to naturally relieve bloating, support digestion, and help break down heavy meals.

What Is This Two-Herb Gut Tea?

This blend is rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), where digestion is viewed through the lens of Spleen and Stomach Qi, dampness, and food stagnation. The combination of Chen Pi and Shan Zha is a classic pairing used to move digestive Qi, break down accumulated food, and relieve post-meal discomfort.

It’s ideal for:

• Feeling bloated or overfull after meals

• Digesting fatty or meat-heavy foods

• Restoring balance after overeating

• Mild gas or burping

• Supporting daily gut wellness
