These Natural Methods Will Soothe Your Upset Stomach

If everything you eat seems to upset your stomach, it may time to attack it from a different angle. Read more to learn about some of the ways to settle your stomach the natural way.

 

Everyone gets an upset stomach sometimes. Those tend to pass if you drink enough water and eat enough easily digested foods.

But what about people with chronic digestive problems? What are we supposed to do?

If you have irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) or some other form of chronic digestive issue, it may seem like the only option is medicating. But if that’s not something you want to do, try these natural methods first.

  • Reduce your stress. That’s a hard thing to do when your stomach constantly hurts, right? But they may be locked in a self-continuing cycle. Your gut has been found to factor into several emotions, and is intertwined with your brain in controlling your mood and mental health. If you find a way to reduce your stress levels, studies show that IBS sufferers can benefit from less pain and a better quality of life.
  • Stop eating tummy-irritating foods. Foods like whole wheat, beans, and even garlic are common causes of tummy trouble. Fibrous foods may be making you overdose on it, and could be blocking up those intestines and making digestion painful.
  • Get out and exercise. Exercise is a great medicine for all that ails you, so why not try it on this problem, too? Endorphins from exercise are natural pain killers, which means you can do it instead of taking ibuprofen.

  • Reach for the peppermint oil. Several studies have connected peppermint oil to IBS pain relief. But instead of supplements, look for the actual oil. Use it in tea, if you want a stomach soothing drink.

If these don’t help, it may be time to seek the help of some meds. But try these out first! They may be just what you need.
