For an ultra cleansing and anti bloating tea, you can add a handful of nettle leaves. For indigestion, you could add a few chamomile flowers if you like. Parsley Parsley can be used to sweeten the breath after eating strong and spicy foods. It's also good for settling an upset stomach. If you feel bloated or you've overdone the wine or garlic, then simply take a few sprigs of parsely and chew slowly. If you do this after a meal, it will really help your digestion.
