Indigestion Natural Remedies

Indigestion Natural Remedies

When you don’t digest food well, you will have indigestion. Symptoms of indigestion include gas, bloating, and maybe even heartburn; the food just doesn’t go down well.

Indigestion is a really a symptom of stomach, liver, gallbladder, pancreas, large or small intestine imbalances. Causes are improper food choices, over eating, eating too late, or, foods eaten are too cold, too hot, or too spicy.

Modern medicine treats indigestion as a bit of a mystery, regularly blaming indigestion on too much stomach acid (when other tests come up negative). To “control” the acid they prescribe acid blockers which contribute to osteoporosis, immune dysfunction, digestive imbalances, improper breakdown of amino acids, anemia and more.

From the natural perspective indigestion is usually sluggish digestion, and, looking at a wider spectrum, may also be from holding anger in the stomach. What can’t you digest in your life?

Natural treatments can reverse most symptoms of indigestion to restore emotional and digestive balance. When you change your diet and use herbs, they are only needed for a few weeks to months for a chronic problem. Herbs, cell salts, or homeopathic remedies may also be valuable for an occasional indigestion quick fix.

Eat smaller meals; monitor what works for you as well as not eating after 8:00 pm. It is important to remove tobacco, alcohol, coffee, black tea, and fast foods from your diet.

A great supplement for indigestion is DGL (Deglycerized licorice) as it acts to soothe indigestion from an inflamed or ulcerated stomach.

 

Herbs for Indigestion

Herbs are plants valued for their specific strengthening/ tonifying properties.

Chamomile helps stimulate weak digestion; breaks up gas and bloating.

Ginger (fresh works best) helps indigestion without overheating the body; dried ginger in small quantities will work short term.

Licorice in small amounts is soothing, coating, and helps with ulcers.

Marshmallow is used for indigestion, heartburn, or an overactive stomach, is soothing and cooling.

Fennel is warming for a sluggish digestion with gas and bloating, and for a cold person.
