What customers consistently report
- A pleasant, mild taste
- Heartburn easing within days
- Plenty of tea in the pouch
Those are the themes that recur across the reviews. Low review confidence — the 4.1 from 315 ratings is on Amazon, where the review text could not be read, the brand site republishes Amazon’s score rather than hosting its own, no Trustpilot profile exists, and neither the company nor the herbalist behind the blend is named.
Why it might work
The brand describes the herbs as traditionally used for stomach comfort. Ginger sped gastric emptying in a small dyspepsia trial, which could matter for fullness after meals but is not an acid-lowering effect. Slippery elm and marshmallow root contain mucilage, a gel-forming fiber that the EU herbal monographs describe as soothing to mucous membranes on the basis of long-standing use rather than trials. Chamomile and fennel are traditional carminatives, and the label does not say how much of any herb is in a bag. Licorice root’s glycyrrhizin can raise blood pressure and lower potassium in some people at higher or long-term intakes, and mucilage herbs may slow the absorption of medicines taken at the same time.
What the research supports
No trial of this blend was found. Ginger, listed first on the brand site, has small trials in functional dyspepsia at capsule doses of about 1.2 g, where it sped gastric emptying in 11 patients without changing symptoms, and a 2022 review pooled two ginger-containing supplement studies for reflux symptoms (odds ratio 7.50) without the included studies being identifiable from its abstract. The other seven herbs have no reflux trial located. The label gives no amount for any herb, and a bag holds about 2.4 g of blend across eight herbs, so none of those trial doses can be compared with it.
What the label discloses
The eight herbs are listed with no amounts, and the brand site and Amazon list them in a different order. The product page and ads state no third-party testing, manufacturing standard or organic certification beyond the ginger, and the pouch size (2 oz or 3 oz) and bag count (30 or 35) differ between listings. The licorice is whole root, so it carries glycyrrhizin, and the amount is not stated.
Who this tends to suit
We match this product to people reporting heartburn or reflux, general abdominal discomfort and symptoms that follow particular foods. It fits someone whose priority is day-to-day comfort or handling meals. Whether it is the best fit for you depends on the rest of your answers — what you have already tried, what format you will take, and anything that has to be ruled out.
Where it may not fit
The label supports gluten-free and vegan. We flag this product for anyone pregnant or breastfeeding or taking prescription medication, and the quiz removes it rather than recommending it in those cases. That is a caution about who should be deciding, not a claim about the product. A tea only works if you will take it as often as the label directs.
Side effects and what to be aware of
The reviews the brand republishes are mostly positive. A minority report no benefit, worse reflux or bloating, a headache, or a strong herbal taste; one reports foot swelling on two cups a day and attributes it to the licorice; and several do not like filling the tea bags themselves. The Amazon listing says to consult a healthcare professional if pregnant, nursing or taking medications, and Amazon marks the pouch non-returnable. The brand page carries only the FDA disclaimer.
Common questions
Does It’s Health Tea GERD tea work?
No trial of this tea was found. Ginger, its first-listed ingredient on the brand site, sped gastric emptying in an 11-person trial in functional dyspepsia without changing symptoms, and the label gives no amount for any of the eight herbs. Amazon reviews average 4.1 from 315 ratings (63% five-star, 12% one-star); reviewers describe relief within days, no change, or worse symptoms.
Is It’s Health Tea GERD tea safe, and what are the side effects?
Amazon’s safety text says to consult a healthcare professional if pregnant, nursing or taking medications. The blend contains whole licorice root, which holds glycyrrhizin and can raise blood pressure and lower potassium at higher or long-term intakes; one reviewer reported foot swelling on two cups a day. Other reviewers mention a headache, bloating or fullness, and the mucilage herbs may delay the absorption of medicines taken at the same time.
What is in It’s Health Tea GERD tea, and how do you brew it?
Organic ginger root, slippery elm, yarrow, fennel seed, chamomile, rosemary, licorice root and marshmallow root, with no sweetener or caffeine and no amount printed for any herb. It is a loose-leaf blend sold with 35 empty bags you fill yourself; the brand says to steep one bag for 5 to 7 minutes and drink 1 to 2 cups a day after meals.
How much does It’s Health Tea GERD tea cost?
A 3 oz pouch with 35 bags is $24.99 on Amazon ($22.49 on Subscribe & Save), which is $0.71 a day at one cup and $1.43 at two. The brand’s own site shows no price and links to Amazon; the same pouch is $24.99 on eBay, with lower prices for multiples.
Who makes It’s Health Tea, and can I return the tea?
The brand lists an Aventura, Florida office but names no owner, company or herbalist, and the Amazon seller of record is a third party, TheDealConnection. Amazon marks the tea non-returnable for food-safety reasons and the eBay seller does not accept returns. No Trustpilot profile exists, and the brand has no checkout or refund policy of its own.
