I think we're all in agreement that there are certain foods that never sit well with us. For some of the Aura team, anything from a hot curry to a high protein meal can often lead to bloating and potent smells lingering around the office (and yes, who smelt it 100% dealt it).

The month of April 2022 marks the chance to raise awareness for Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), with around 10-15% of the UK population experiencing this uncomfortable disease. This condition directly affects the digestive system, often causing stomach cramps, bloating, diarrhoea, and constipation, which can continue for weeks, months, or even longer.

So, to give respite to that upset stomach, here are our best herbal remedies that may suppress symptoms of IBS.
