Customer question:

What helps with stomach pain? Can I help myself with home remedies without drugs? Question from an anonymous forum customer

Pharmacist's answer:

Home remedies and pain relief can help relieve stomach and abdominal discomfort; over-the-counter and prescription medications are also available. Abdominal pain can be of different intensities and have different causes. For example, abdominal pain can result from causes such as flatulence, indigestion, constipation, and diarrhea.

There are several popular home tactics for your problems. Some may also help relieve stomach problems from other sources, such as irritable bowel syndrome.

Drinking water

The body needs water for efficient digestion and absorption of nutrients from food and drink. Dehydration can make digestion more complex and less efficient, increasing the likelihood of stomach problems. A person's fluid needs vary based on activity level, temperature extremes, age, general health, and size of the person. However, the general rule is that adults should drink at least 1.5-2 L of water daily.

Avoid lying down

If you avoid lying down after eating, you can prevent indigestion from developing into heartburn. When the body is in a horizontal position, stomach acid is more likely to travel backward and move upwards, which can cause unpleasant heartburn.

Peppermint

The menthol in peppermint leaves has been used for centuries as a natural remedy for stomach discomfort. Try drinking it in tea or chewing mint gum or candy. To make the tea, boil 1 cup of water, remove from heat, and add a handful of spearmint leaves. Let stand for 5 minutes, then strain and drink.

Ginger

Ginger has been used since ancient times to treat stomach aches. Ginger is a natural remedy and can be enjoyed in various forms – fresh ginger root in a smoothie, nutritional supplements, or tea. To make tea, thinly slice fresh ginger. Mix the ginger with fresh water in a pan and bring the mixture to a boil over high heat. Cook for five minutes and pour through a fine strainer.

Chamomile tea

Chamomile, long known as a sedative, can help relax abdominal muscles and reduce pain from possible cramps by supporting comfortable digestion (on hold botanicals). Put 3-4 tablespoons of chamomile and a sprig of mint in the teapot. Pour 250 ml of boiling water over the chamomile flowers and mint and let it stand for 5 minutes.
