Hot Drinks
Extremely hot beverages can irritate the oesophagus and stomach lining. This irritation can exacerbate symptoms of acid reflux, GERD, and gastritis. Hot drinks can cause the muscles in your digestive tract to spasm, leading to discomfort and pain. For those with sensitive stomachs or inflamed digestive tracts, it's essential to avoid beverages that are too hot to prevent further irritation.
Cold Drinks
On the other hand, very cold drinks can slow down digestion. Cold beverages can cause the muscles in the oesophagus and stomach to contract, which may lead to spasms and cramps. This can result in bloating and discomfort, particularly for those suffering from IBS or gut inflammation. Cold drinks can also interfere with the digestive enzymes' effectiveness, hindering the digestive process.
Why Mild Temperatures Are Best
Consuming beverages at a mild, lukewarm temperature helps maintain a calm and balanced digestive environment. Lukewarm drinks are less likely to irritate the stomach lining or cause muscle spasms. This temperature is gentle on the digestive system, promoting smooth digestion and reducing the risk of discomfort and irritation.
The Best Way to Enjoy MOJO & MELO Herbal Teas
At Mojo & Melo, our herbal teas are designed to support digestive health, and consuming them at the right temperature can maximise their benefits. Here's how to drink our teas for the best results:
-
Brew Correctly: Start by brewing your Mojo & Melo tea according to the instructions. Use freshly boiled water but let it cool for 5 minutes before pouring it over the tea. This ensures the water is hot enough to extract the beneficial compounds from the herbs but not so hot that it will irritate your stomach.
-
Let It Cool: After brewing, let your tea sit for a few minutes to reach a mild, lukewarm temperature. This is especially important if you are dealing with sensitive digestive conditions.
-
Sip Slowly: Drinking your tea slowly allows your body to absorb the nutrients effectively and avoids overwhelming your digestive system.
