Symptoms of Indigestion
As
mentioned earlier, indigestion is a
broad term that covers several conditions.
Some of the symptoms of these conditions
that describe indigestion are pain in
the stomach, a burning sensation in
the upper abdomen, heartburn, bloating,
belching and flatulance, nausea and
vomiting, acidic or metallic taste in
the mouth, caused by stomach acids coming
up in the esophagus and growling or
rumbling stomach.
Natural Cures
Indigestion can be uncomfortable and
can even lead to embarrassing situations.
Try some of the following natural cures
to cope with indigestion:
Ginger
Ginger
is regarded as having diverse healing
properties and is used prominently in
treating most digestive disorders. It
is believed to stimulate the pancreas,
thus increasing the secretion of enzymes
that promote digestion and avoiding
the symptoms that are typically associated
with indigestion such as nausea, bloating,
and vomiting. Try some of the following
recipes for tackling indigestion:
 |
Grate
a small chunk of ginger in boiling
water and let it steep for ten minutes.
Strain and add some honey. Drink
this warm and soothing concoction. |
|
Add one
teaspoon of lemon juice, one teaspoon
of fresh ginger juice, and a pinch
of rock salt in warm water and drink
this to relieve indigestion symptoms. |
|
Soak a few
slices of fresh ginger root in lemon
juice and chew this after every
meal. |
|
Mix one
teaspoon of dry ginger powder, one
teaspoon of black pepper powder,
and a pinch of ground cardamom in
warm water and drink it an hour
after consuming meals. |
Mint
Herbalists
believe that mint has carminative, simulative,
and stomachic properties that aid in
digestion. The essential oil present
in this herb acts as an anesthetic to
the lining of the stomach walls, thus
reducing the sensitivity of the stomach
tissues toward the acids. Here is how
to use mint for relieving indigestion:
|
Chew
four to five mint leaves after having
meals. It not only acts as a natural
mouth freshener but also aids digestion. |
|
Prepare
mint tea by adding a few fresh mint
leaves in boiling water and letting
it steep for a few minutes. Enhance
the medicinal value of this tea
by grating a small piece of fresh
ginger root or adding a teaspoon
of ginger juice in it. Drink this
tea twice each day for best results. |
|
One teaspoon
of mint juice, one teaspoon of lemon
juice, and one teaspoon of honey
can also act as a digestive remedy. |
