The Beginning of My Health Journey
From 2020 to 2023, I faced a challenging and often frustrating health journey. I struggled with persistent gut and stomach issues that seemed to have no end in sight. Symptoms like bloating, acid reflux, and stomach cramps were a constant part of my daily life. Like many, I initially turned to medications, hoping for relief. While these medications provided short-term benefits, they came with long-term risks such as dependency, nutrient malabsorption, and potential side effects like headaches and fatigue.
The Gut-Brain Connection: Why Your Gut Health Matters
Before diving into the solutions, it's essential to understand why gut health is so crucial. The gut is often referred to as the "second brain" due to the complex network of neurons that reside in the digestive system. This gut-brain connection means that poor gut health can affect not only your digestive system but also your mood, energy levels, and overall well-being.
Turning to Ancient Wisdom
Feeling lost and desperate for a solution, I began researching alternative therapies. My journey led me to the ancient wisdom of Chinese and Indian cultures, where gut health has been a focus for centuries. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and Ayurveda emphasise the importance of maintaining a balanced digestive system for overall health. These practices often involve the use of herbal remedies, dietary adjustments, and lifestyle changes to restore harmony in the body.
For example, in Ayurveda, digestion is considered the cornerstone of health. Poor digestion is believed to be the root cause of many diseases. Similarly, TCM views the stomach and spleen as central organs in maintaining the body's energy and vitality. When these organs are out of balance, it can lead to digestive issues and other health problems.
Creating My Own Solution
Determined not to give up, I decided to take matters into my own hands. If I couldn’t find a product that met my needs, I would create one myself. That’s how Mojo & Melo was born—a line of high-quality herbal teas designed to soothe the stomach, support gut health, and offer true, long-lasting relief.
The Science Behind Herbal Remedies
Herbal remedies have been used for thousands of years to treat digestive issues. Modern science is now catching up, with studies showing the effectiveness of certain herbs in promoting gut health. For example, chamomile is not just a mild sedative; it has been shown to reduce stomach cramps and inflammation. Turmeric, a common spice in Indian cuisine, contains curcumin, which has powerful anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. These properties can help reduce the inflammation in the gut lining, providing relief from conditions like IBS and gastritis.
Marshmallow root, another key ingredient in our Mojo Melo Stomach Relief tea, is rich in mucilage, a substance that coats the digestive tract and helps soothe irritation. This makes it an excellent choice for those suffering from acid reflux or heartburn. Coriander seed, often used in TCM, aids digestion by promoting the production of digestive enzymes and reducing bloating.
The Power of Mojo & Melo Teas
Each blend in the Mojo & Melo line has been carefully crafted using organic herbs known for their digestive benefits. Let me introduce you to our three signature teas:
🌸 Mojo Melo Stomach Calm (Pink Box)
This blend is a harmonious combination of chamomile and turmeric. Chamomile is well-known for its calming effects on the digestive system, helping to reduce bloating and discomfort. Turmeric, with its powerful anti-inflammatory properties, works to ease stomach inflammation and promote healing. Together, these ingredients create a soothing tea that’s perfect for those moments when your stomach needs a gentle, calming touch.
Additional Benefits:
- Chamomile also helps in reducing anxiety and stress, which are often linked to digestive problems.

💙 Mojo Melo Stomach Relief (Blue Box)
If acid reflux and heartburn are your main concerns, this blend is your go-to.

Marshmallow root is excellent for coating and soothing the stomach lining, while coriander seed helps to neutralize acid and support digestion. This tea is a must-have for anyone looking to balance their stomach acid naturally.
Additional Benefits:
