Potent Natural Remedies to Cure Gas, Indigestion, & Heartburn
- There are plenty of natural remedies for gas and gas pain. One effective remedy can be made from a glass of water, 1 tsp. of grated ginger, a bit of lime juice, and some honey for taste. Teas made from chamomile, peppermint, or peach leaves are other options. Also try eating a bit of fresh parsley after a meal when gas occurs or drinking a carbonated water beverage.
- If you are experiencing indigestion, try drinking about half a glass of pineapple juice. This should get your digestive tract back in order. Also try mixing some water with 2 tsp. of honey and 1 tsp. each of ginger and lemon juice. Another useful remedy for indigestion involves mixing about 1 tsp. of baking soda with some water and drinking it. Be careful with this, however, because baking soda is very high in salt. Drinking a cup of ginger tea after a meal can also aid in proper digestion.
- Heartburn is rather painful, so quick relief is important when choosing a home remedy. One powerful remedy is to keep a couple of fresh garlic cloves in a bit of apple cider vinegar in the refrigerator. Garlic is a good antiseptic and may help kill any bacteria that may be causing gastritis, while apple cider vinegar can help restore a healthy pH balance to the stomach. When you feel heartburn coming on, drink a bit of the vinegar for quick relief.
Other natural options for relieving heartburn include chewable papaya tablets (available in health food stores), licorice tea, and chamomile tea.
