Acid reflux affects 1 in 5 adults in the UK.
But long before it had a medical name, healers in Egypt, Greece, India, and Europe were already solving it with a handful of specific plants.
In this article, you'll discover how four traditional ingredients in Cosmic Hue have been naturally treating acid reflux for thousands of years.
Marshmallow Root
Marshmallow root has been a trusted remedy for digestive troubles across continents.
Ancient Egyptian and Greek herbalists recognised the power of its mucilage-rich compounds, using root extracts to coat irritated throats and stomachs.
In European traditional medicine, practitioners would prepare cool water steeps of marshmallow root specifically to soothe heartburn and ulcer pain. The cooling nature of these preparations made them particularly effective for calming inflamed digestive tissues.
Modern research has confirmed what ancient healers observed. Marshmallow root contains mucilage compounds that can form a protective coating along your digestive tract. This soothing action may help create a barrier between sensitive stomach lining and acid.
Fennel Seeds
For centuries, Mediterranean and South Asian cultures have reached for fennel seeds after meals to settle their stomachs. This simple yet powerful ritual speaks to fennel's remarkable ability to calm digestive upset.
Traditional healers understood that fennel seeds could neutralise excess stomach acid and prevent that uncomfortable burning sensation we know as heartburn. They observed how chewing these aromatic seeds after heavy meals would ease discomfort and promote better digestion.
Ancient Romans, Greeks, and Egyptians held fennel in such high regard that they incorporated it into their ceremonial wellness practices. These civilisations recognised fennel as more than just a remedy, but as a sacred plant that supported overall wellbeing.
The science behind fennel's effectiveness lies in compounds like anethole and other volatile oils. These natural compounds have antispasmodic properties that help relax digestive muscles and reduce cramping. Fennel also acts as a carminative, helping to expel gas and reduce the bloating that can worsen reflux symptoms.
Ashwagandha Root
In Ayurvedic medicine, ashwagandha root has been the go-to remedy for what practitioners call urdhwaga amlapitta, which translates to hyper-acidity.
The traditional understanding centres around ashwagandha's ability to "cool excess pitta" in the body. According to Ayurvedic principles, when your pitta dosha becomes overheated, it can manifest as acid reflux, heartburn, and digestive inflammation. Ashwagandha helps restore this crucial balance.
Modern Ayurvedic practitioners continue to recommend ashwagandha for reflux relief, particularly when taken at nighttime. This timing allows the herb to work throughout your sleep cycle, when your body naturally repairs and regenerates digestive tissues.
Stinging Nettle
European spring traditions have long celebrated stinging nettle as nature's way to cleanse the body after winter. Traditional healers would brew nettle tea specifically to "wash out acids" and provide relief from colic and digestive discomfort.
This practice wasn't just folklore. Nettle's gentle diuretic action was believed to flush metabolic acids from your system, helping to reduce the overall acid load that could contribute to reflux symptoms. By supporting your body's natural detoxification processes, nettle tea helped maintain better internal balance.
Folk medicine recognised nettle as an effective remedy for calming what practitioners called "acid stomach" and easing that heavy, uncomfortable feeling after meals. Many people found that regular nettle consumption helped prevent the digestive sluggishness that can worsen acid reflux.
Why These 4 Ingredients Are In Cosmic Hue
While recovering from Crohn’s disease, Manny discovered that combining these specific plants created far more powerful results than using them individually. Each ingredient targets acid reflux from a different angle.
Marshmallow root protects your digestive tract while fennel seeds calm muscular spasms. Ashwagandha addresses stress-related acid production and stinging nettle supports natural detoxification.
This comprehensive approach tackles multiple root causes rather than just masking symptoms. Cosmic Hue uses traditional knowledge with modern quality standards for potency and purity.
