Decrease Bloating Naturally with Cumin, Coriander and Fennel Tea

As a functional holistic nutritionist, I'm always looking to food, herbs and spices as powerful sources of support—and tea is one of my favorite tools. Herbal teas have been used medicinally for thousands of years, and some of the simplest blends can offer the greatest relief.

If you have ever struggled with bloating, gas, sluggish digestion, or an uncomfortable stomach after meals, nature has a simple remedy: Cumin, Coriander, and Fennel (CCF) Tea to decrease bloating. This warm, soothing tea has been used for centuries in Ayurveda to balance your digestive system. This tea was a game changer on my gut health journey and I continue to drink it consistently to help support my digestion and feel my best.

Cumin, Coriander and Fennel Tea

Cumin Benefits: Cumin stimulates the digestive fire (known as agni in Ayurveda), which helps break down food more efficiently. It can reduce gas, improve nutrient absorption, and support detoxification.

Coriander Benefits: Cooling and calming, coriander is especially helpful for soothing inflammation in the digestive tract. It supports regular elimination and can relieve indigestion and bloating—especially after heavy or spicy meals.

Fennel Benefits: Fennel is a well-known carminative, a fancy way of saying it can relieve gas and bloating. It also has gentle antispasmodic properties, which can help calm cramping or discomfort in the digestive system.

How to Enjoy

Drink a warm cup of CCF tea after meals or anytime your digestion needs a little extra love. I do not recommend drinking it immediately before a meal as that could dilute your stomach acid. What I love to do is make a large batch, store it in the fridge then reheat.
