          All of those would be good.

          For colitis, there are several herbs that can be beneficial. Demulcents like Marshmallow, Mallow, and Slippery Elm can help soothe the gut. Carminatives such as Ginger, Fennel, and Peppermint can help decrease gas accumulation. Mild laxatives like Dandelion Root and Psyllium can help keep things moving. Antispasmodic herbs like Angelica, Wild Yam, and Cramp Bark can help with cramping. Anti-inflammatory herbs like Boswellia and Turmeric can also be helpful. Nervines like Chamomile and Peppermint can help calm the gut.

          Don't use herbs or combine herbs with medications or use them during lactation or pregnancy without talking with your healthcare provider.
