Indigestion

Years ago, I had a period when I was experiencing severe indigestion which is also called dyspepsia. I was miserable, however instead of popping pills which only covered up the symptoms which are:-  

• Bloating (full feeling)
• Burping and gas
• Nausea and vomiting
• Acidic taste
• Growling stomach
• Burning in the stomach
• Abdominal pain

Indigestion has many causes and can be increased by stress. Oh, but you want to know how to avoid taking over the counter medication. Here are some remedies that always work for me:

1. Drink water before meals

2. Take 1 oz of apple cider vinegar (Dilute if u must or add honey)

3. 1 tsp of baking soda to 4 ozs of water.

4. Take a walk after a large meal

5. Drink warm milk with peppermint or bay leaf

5. Avoid eating 2-3  hours prior to sleeping.

6. Chew your food properly. This increases the enzymes necessary for the absorption of good.

7. Chew garlic 

8. Drink ginger tea

9. Eat a plain yogurt. (It has in probiotics)

10. Eat fresh parsley or make a tea.

****** Apply acupressure to the abdomen.******

Indigestion can be the precursor to various illnesses, so if it continues please seek a physician.
