Best cure 4 stomach aches?
Question:
Answers:
Throwing up makes me feel better. Purge! Your stomach is sore for a reason.
Try some warm tea with honey or even warm apple cider is better. It will help your stomach ache go away in a few minutes
Depends on teh type of stomach ache. Personally, I find that for gas cramps the best cure is a teaspoon of baking soda in water.
Ginger ale does an excellent job for general queasiness and also helps with gas cramps. It's also a whole lot easier to stomach.
milk of magnesia or chamomile tea. Works a treat! Sometimes a hot water bottle will ease the pain too!
Three drops of essential oil of oregano in a glass of water can help settle a stomach, too.
Try live yogurt,
Some manufacturers add other cultures during processing to enhance the health-promoting potential of yogurt. The most commonly added cultures include Lactobacillus acidophilus, L. casei, L. reuteri and Bifidobacterium bifidum. These "probiotic" bacteria pass through the stomach to the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. There, they help maintain a healthy balance between the 200-plus kinds of bacteria that live there.
This may sound silly, but i find that ice on the stomach where it hurts really helps for all kinds of stomach aches. Best thing is 'dry ice' Lie down in bed and put the ice on your stomach
Yes, drinking water can be helpful.
Other things that might help would be digestive enzymes and DGL, an herb. Slippery elm is another herb that is soothing to the tummy.
Good luck and be well.
