7 Gut Healing Tools You’re Probably Skipping (But Shouldn’t Be)
Your gut isn’t broken beyond repair—it just needs the right support. This blog shares 7 simple but powerful tools for healing leaky gut, reducing inflammation, and restoring digestion. Spoiler: You won’t find these in your average supplement guide.
You don’t need a cabinet full of supplements or a prescription pad to start healing your gut.
In fact, the biggest shifts?
They come from small, consistent steps that support the way your body was designed to heal.
This past week on the blog, we took it back to the basics. These are tools that don’t get enough credit but make all the difference when your gut is inflamed, bloated, or just plain broken.
Here’s your sneak peek into what we covered:
💛 Castor Oil Packs & Abdominal Massage
Yes, your grandma was onto something.
We broke down how castor oil packs and belly massage can stimulate lymph, reduce inflammation, and get things moving (yes, that kind of moving). These are hands-on healing tools that cost next to nothing—and they work.
💛 The Mucosal Barrier: Your Gut’s Real MVP
Your gut lining isn’t just one layer. If you’re skipping support for the mucosal layer, you’re skipping healing.
We talked demulcent herbs, prebiotics, and colostrum, and why this layer is the first line of defense against leaky gut.
💛 L-Glutamine + Zinc Carnosine = Power Pair
These two supplements are gut repair gold.
They fuel cellular repair, calm inflammation, and actually seal up damage—perfect for long-term recovery.
💛 Probiotic Reality Check
If you’re popping random probiotics and still bloated, you might need a terrain-based approach instead.
We unpacked why spore-based probiotics are a smarter choice—especially if you have SIBO, travel a lot, or want something that survives digestion.
💛 The Bile Breakdown
You can’t heal your gut if you can’t digest your fats.
We dove into the bitter truth about bile flow, detox, and what to do when your gallbladder’s gone or sluggish.
(Spoiler: Bitters are better than beets.)
💛 Bone Broth, Collagen, and Gelatin 101
These aren’t trendy—they’re foundational.
This week’s blog explains exactly how these amino acids help rebuild the gut lining, reduce inflammation, and support full-body repair.
💛 Constipation Isn’t Just Inconvenient
It’s a detox roadblock.
We talked about how lack of bowel movements affects your hormones, skin, and mood—and gave practical, no-fluff strategies to get things moving.
