I was crashing at friends last night when I woke up with terrible indigestion and acid reflux. I couldn't sleep. There was no indigestion medicine in the house, so I got online to find some indigestion home remedies and found a ton. I'm not sure how valid all of these are, but here's what I did.
- Mix equal parts of baking soda and water in a glass. That made me burp a couple of times, and I felt instant relief.
Not knowing if that would work, I had already started to make a tea.
- I forget the brand, but I saw it had peppermint and licorice in it. Peppermint is supposedly good for indigestion. It will help indigestion with out causing heartburn.” Mint, raspberry, chamomile and blackberry are also good for it.
Some other suggestions include:
- Mix a tablespoon of lemon juice or cider vinegar in a cup of hot water before a meal to prevent acid indigestion.
- Drink one cup of ginger tea after meals to promote a good digestion
- Take 1 tsp each of mint juice, lemon juice, and honey.
- Mix 5-6 chopped basil (tulsi) leaves, 1/4 tsp sea salt, some black pepper in 3 Tbsp of curd, and eat it. repeat this 4 times a day for one week for complete reconditioning of stomach.
There are some other indigestion home remedies listed here. Good luck!
