Natural ways to ease indigestion - these plants and home remedies can help

By HOLA! USA -New York
March 24, 2023 3:32 PM EDT

Poor digestion can cause all kinds of abdominal symptoms, including bloating, gas, constipation, diarrhea and even vomiting. Of course it is important to consult a doctor if we note any frequent, severe or longlasting problems. But where discomfort is clearly linked to a heavy meal; overdoing caffeine, alcohol or fizzy drinks; eating too fast or stress, it’s worth trying some simple home remedies.

Ginger Root

Ginger helps with nausea. As an extra benefit, it freshens the breath. Chew a couple of slices of fresh root or soak them in hot water to make an infusion.

Apple Cider Vinegar

Naturally acidic, this can benefit those who get indigestion because their stomach doesn’t produce enough acid. One to two teaspoons of apple cider vinegar in water can bring relief.

Peppermint

An antispasmodic, it relaxes the muscles of the bowel wall, making it particularly useful against ‘crampy’, stress-induced indigestion. Use fresh or dried peppermint leaves to make an infusion.

Oranges

Containing both soluble and insoluble fiber, oranges can help food move steadily through the system and ease constipation.

Aniseed

This is a carminative, which means it reduces the creation of intestinal gas and make it easier to expel.

Green Tea

Green tea is rich in polyphenols, which promote the growth of ‘good’ bacteria in the gut, i.e. those we need to break down our food effectively.

Pineapple

This contains bromelain, a group of enzymes that aid protein digestion. That’s why in some countries pineapple is served with meat dishes.

Water

The most easily accessible remedy of all. Drunk warm, it helps to relax the stomach. For anyone suffering from diarrhea, it is vital to replenish lost fluids, so plenty of water is recommended.
