Natural Remedies for an Upset Stomach

(Borrowed from Alyssa Jung)For gasiness, constipation, nausea, or indigestion try these natural remedies:
1. Carrot & Mint "Juice" If you're suffering from the winter flu, try this drink: Boil 4 sliced carrots, 4 cups of water, and 1 teaspoon of dried peppermint or 1 peppermint teabag. Turn the heat to medium-low & cook about 15 minutes or until carrots are soft. If you're using a teabag, remove it, then blend the mixture until smooth & enjoy! You can, also, add a pinch of ground ginger to further soothe, or squeeze of lemon juice for flavor. The carrot provides nourishment & peppermint soothes your stomach. 2. Rice Tea Make a rice "tea" to settle an upset stomach or stop diarrhea." Boil 1/2 cup of rice in 6 cups of water for about 15 minutes. Strain out the rice, then flavor the water with a dash of honey or sugar & drink warm. 3. Burnt Toast You have heard that toast is good for an upset stomach, but burnt toast is even better, because the char absorbs toxins that are making you feel ill. Add a smear of jelly to make it tasty. 4. Apple Cider Vinegar A mixture of 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar, 1 cup warm water, & 1 tablespoon honey will ease indigestion & may help cramping & gas. It can, also, lessen discomfort caused by heartburn. 5. CRAP Diet For constipation, try the CRAP, which stands for "cherries, raisins, apricots, & prunes," diet. These are fiber-friendly foods that should get your system moving. 6. Yogurt Yogurt helps a stomachache due to the probiotics, which eases digestive discomfort & boosts your immune system. Be sure to choose non-fat plain yogurt without added sugar or flavors. 7. Caraway Seeds Caraway seeds are packed with vitamins & minerals, which inhibit the growth of bad bacteria that causes indigestion, gas, or bloating. Nibble on a handful after eating your meal, or if you feel gassy. 8. Fennel Whether it's indigestion, or gas & bloating, fennel can help. Sip a fennel tea, chew on a few fennel seeds or crunch on some raw. It supports digestion, reduces gas, helps with cramping, & reduces nausea. 9. Heat Place a hot water bottle or heating pad on your stomach. The heat increases blood flow to the skin surface & transfers the perception of pain from inside your stomach to the outside.
