Find Out Which Natural Remedy for Indigestion Works for You



If you have ever been forced to keep awake due to indigestion do not reach out for an OTC (over the counter) medication. Also, be careful that not all the popular natural remedies work as intended. Unless you are sure that the natural remedy for indigestion you choose works well, do not risk using it.

Mints and Milk - Wrong Natural Remedies for Indigestion

You are looking for relief not more problems, so be careful what you are taking for your indigestion. Do not reach out for mints. Mint works against you by relaxing the connecting valve between the esophagus and your stomach, which means it literally gets more acid into your food pipe increasing not decreasing your suffering.

Another popular natural remedy for indigestion you need to strike off your list is cold milk. Since indigestion is almost always accompanied by heartburn, many people use a cold glass of milk to calm the stomach. This is not good. Milk offers only temporary relief, say for about 10 to15 minutes after you drank it down after which it will in fact aggravate your condition by adding to the load that your stomach has to digest.

Bananas, Baking Soda and More - Right Natural Remedies for Indigestion

One natural remedy for indigestion that works all the time is eating a banana. This fruit absorbs the effects of the acid and promotes smooth digestion of food. Other fruits that have similar effect are ripe papaya and the pineapple. These fruits make a wonderful mid-night snack and are very efficient as treatment for indigestion and heartburn.

 



Fenugreek seeds which is mostly used as mouth freshener after food and mustard seeds and are also known to be very effective in helping with digestion (about one teaspoon would be enough). A very well known and effective natural remedy for indigestion and heartburn is baking powder. Mix one tablespoon in about 100 ml cold water and drink it. However, this remedy is contraindicated for pregnant and hypertensive people.

Cultivate Habits That Would Help Your Digestion

If you find that you are suffering from indigestion and heartburn on a regular basis, it might be good to change your life style a little. Avoid late night dinners; your last meal should be at least two hours before your bedtime. Drink water 30 minutes after your meal as this allows the stomach digest the food better and faster.

Avoid foods that promote acidity especially at dinner time. These include tomatoes, aerated drinks, all citrus fruits, alcohol, tea, coffee, garlic, processed foods, and chocolate among others.
