Herbal Combinations Bitter herbs are thought to stimulate digestive function by increasing saliva production and promoting both stomach acid and digestive enzyme production. As a result, they are particularly used when there is low stomach acid but not in cases of heartburn or too much stomach acid.

These herbs taste bitter, thus the name. Some examples of bitter herbs include greater celandine, wormwood, and gentian. Bitters are generally taken either by mixing 1–3 ml tincture into water and sipping slowly 10–30 minutes before eating, or by making tea, which is also sipped slowly before eating. There are many combination products available from your health food store.

A more comprehensive list would include andrographis, artichoke, barberry, bitter melon, bitter orange, blessed thistle, boldo, centaury, dandelion, devil’s claw, elecampane, gentian, goldenseal, greater celandine, horehound, juniper, Oregon grape, picrorhiza, prickly ash, vervain, wormwood, yarrow and yellow dock.

Cayenne Pepper (Capsicum frutescens) Capsaicin, the active ingredient in cayenne, is believed to assist digestion by stimulating the flow of both salvia and stomach secretions. One or two capsules of cayenne pepper taken before meals stimulates hunger also.

Diet
Therapeutic Fasting Fasting gives the digestive system a needed break from the nearly constant effort that is required to process what we swallow. Unless we have been eating very healthfully, and sometimes even if we have, fasting will provide a period of rest to allow digestive rejuvenation to occur.

Juices / Juicing A juice fast gives the digestive tract a rest from its heavy responsibilities, and strengthens a digestive weakness.

Vinegar Apple cider vinegar or lemon juice taken with meals mildly stimulates hydrochloric acid production.

Other Answers:
There is a supplement called Betain HCL that you take with meals. This will increase your stomach acid levels. Metagenics makes it, others may as well.

Go to the health food store and buy some Betaine capsules (usually about 400mg) which are HCL acid used as a digestive aid. Take 1 cap with each meal.
