A Post-Dinner Elixir That Eases Inflammation & Soothes Bloating

Post-dinner bloat is the worst, especially when it happens late in the evening. While scheduling your last meal earlier in the night is ideal, that just isn't realistic sometimes—and besides, eating earlier doesn't always guarantee a bloat-free belly when you crawl into bed. 

So it's worth having some debloating remedies in your corner.

To come, one warming elixir you'll want to save for (because post-meal bloat is almost guaranteed this time of year).

Thornton says you can drink this blend before or after a meal for digestion support.

Either way, you'll give yourself a great dose of anti-inflammatory and soothing ingredients to support your stomach after any meal.

Dealing with post-dinner bloat? Reach for this anti-inflammatory, digestion-supporting elixir before or after your meal.
