Treatment of the stomach with folk remedies: the most effective non-traditional methods

Instead of swallowing a handful of pills every time you have an attack of stomach pain, you can try folk recipes. Of course, you must first make sure that the pain is not associated with any serious abnormality.

Treatment of the stomach with the most effective folk remedies is suitable for those who have been suffering from any chronic disease for a long time, and know exactly all the potential symptoms. For such people, inexpensive home remedies can actually be helpful.

Before you start treating the stomach with folk remedies, you should consult with your doctor. The specialist, at a minimum, should describe the possible side effects, as well as check the absence of allergies.

Unfortunately, in most cases, employees of domestic clinics play it safe and forbid their patients any non-traditional treatment. Private naturopaths and herbalists will come to the rescue. You should definitely contact a specialist in the following cases:

• prescribed synthetic drugs.

Some herbs can cause serious side effects when mixed with drugs such as aspirin, warfarin, and antihypertensives.

• pregnancy, breastfeeding.

Herbs that are safe for an adult can harm a fetus or a nursing baby. During pregnancy or breastfeeding, it is better to refuse any medications at all (including completely natural ones).

• surgical intervention is due.

Many folk recipes can affect the success of the operation. Some herbs reduce the effectiveness of anesthetics, provoke dangerous complications (bleeding, a sharp increase or decrease in pressure).

The use of medicinal plants

Medicinal plants are used in folk medicine most often, because herbs are available, and most importantly, they have been tested for thousands of years. Some herbs for treating the stomach can be found right on the kitchen shelves. Dry aromatic spices can have an antispasmodic effect and reduce flatulence. So, for example, with dyspepsia, indigestion, it is enough to season your daily meals with such dry herbs:

If you want to soothe the inflamed walls of the stomach, then you can drink a decoction of peppermint, lemon balm, basil.

But still, there is no more effective herb for the intestines and stomach than rosemary. To make a decoction, just add 10 grams of fresh leaves (or a tablespoon of dry seasoning) to 200 ml of boiling water. Leave for 10-15 minutes, then strain and cool. Rosemary decoction relieves stomach cramps, relaxes the muscles of the digestive tract. The fragrant spice also increases the secretion of bile, which allows you to speed up the digestion of fatty foods.

Doctor's advice! Culinary herbs are preferable to pharmaceutical ones, if only because they have practically no contraindications and side effects. For those who have not encountered traditional medicine, it is better to start with this option.

The use of vegetable oils

Vegetable oils have been used to treat the stomach for many centuries. One of the most effective is black cumin seed oil. It can be drunk as a complete remedy against:

• vomiting;
• dyspepsia;
• bloating;
• diarrhea.

It is also known that black cumin oil helps cleanse the liver, normalize the intestinal microflora, relieve inflammation that has arisen against the background of gastritis.

Doctor's advice! It is best to use black cumin seed oil to fight H. pylori bacteria. The anti-inflammatory effect will be enhanced by the antibacterial effect, which will eventually lead to a cure for gastritis.

More affordable and common healing oil is pumpkin. Healthy fats are a very important part of the diet. And from pumpkin seed oil you can get not only micronutrients, but many vitamins. Especially valuable is linoleic acid, which has a unique ability to normalize the microflora in the gastrointestinal tract.

Patient Feedback! Sometimes, after the holidays, I develop indigestion. That flatulence, then constipation, then just a feeling of "coma in the stomach." Regular pumpkin seed oil always helps. I drink a spoonful on an empty stomach, and also add to salads.

Application of bee products

The fact that propolis and royal jelly contain 8 amino acids that the human body cannot produce on its own makes bee products a fairly useful addition to the daily diet. Royal jelly is necessary for the normalization of metabolism. And healing propolis stimulates cellular regeneration, which is very important in the presence of erosions on the walls of the stomach.

The numerous medical benefits of bee products have made them an important part of non-traditional treatment. But at the same time, official science has also confirmed the effectiveness in healing wounds on mucous membranes.

Doctor's advice! Allergy to honey, propolis and royal jelly is the main contraindication. Even a few grams of the above products, after ingestion, can cause anaphylactic shock. Therefore, before the first use of non-traditional remedies, it is worth consulting with an allergist.

Use of freshly squeezed juices

Freshly squeezed juices are the best option for normalizing stools. The fibers help form feces, and the liquid stimulates intestinal motility. Depending on the selected fruit or vegetable, you can adjust the acidity. Also, such folk remedies can be safely given to children.

Doctor's advice! The fruits and vegetables used must be fresh. The juice must be consumed immediately after preparation, otherwise important nutrients will be lost.

Pineapple juice is the best remedy for constipation. The fruit contains a special enzyme called bromelain, which helps speed up the passage of food through the esophagus, as well as normalize the regularity of the stool.

Patient Feedback! I drink pineapple juice during diets. And food is digested faster, and there is no constipation. The only drawback: the appearance of ulcers in the mouth. Therefore, it is better not to drink more than three glasses of juice a day.

Clay application

Bentonite (also known as hydroaluminosilicate) is not very popular among fans of traditional medicine. The name of the clay comes from the Bentot deposit in the USA. There is an opinion that the purest food clay is mined only there.

So, purified bentonite is the best natural remedy for heartburn, and also quickly reduces acidity. Just like potato juice, bentonite diluted with water can heal ulcers.

Other benefits of such an unusual folk remedy for the stomach:

It is important to take bentonite on an empty stomach, and not drink any medication for another 1-2 hours. Otherwise, the beneficial substances of both food and medicines simply will not enter the bloodstream. It is enough to drink a teaspoon of bentonite mixed in 200 ml of water right in the morning.

Patient Feedback! I bought already dissolved bentonite from a well-known American website for natural dietary supplements. I can say that the drug works. I used to suffer from constipation, constant "stops" of the stomach. Popular herbs for the stomach and intestines did not help. But one jar of edible clay solution improved digestion!

Several effective recipes are given in this video.

Using Shilajit

Shilajit is a resinous mass that can help soothe irritated gastrointestinal mucosa. White mummy perfectly removes toxins, and black resin has a choleretic effect. People who took the beneficial substance for a long time noted the elimination of dysbacteriosis, the normalization of the stomach. It is most convenient to take the mummy in the form of capsules. You can also purchase powdered rock oil and make water or alcohol solutions according to package instructions.

Patient Feedback! I was born with a prolapse of the stomach, so various indigestions, acid reflux, esophagitis have haunted me all my life. For the last few years I have been drinking white mummy capsules. Of course, the stomach did not work like a clock, but I refused a large number of pharmacy products.

Other non-traditional treatments

It is better not to try non-traditional methods of treatment on yourself without first consulting with a specialized specialist. For example, acupuncture improves digestion by activating local blood circulation in the digestive tract. Properly placed needles can quickly stop the inflammatory process. On the other hand, if the needle is not inserted deep enough, or at the wrong point, unpleasant side effects will occur.

At home, it is better to try aromatherapy. Constant inhalation of oils of patchouli, rosemary, cardamom, ginger or Scots pine will harmonize the work of all body systems, including the digestive system.

Patient Feedback! Against the background of constant stress, my appetite disappeared, my stomach began to hurt constantly. I did not want to go to the doctor who would prescribe a lot of pills, and decided to fight the problem with alternative methods. A friend advised me to do yoga and wear an aroma medallion with rosemary around my neck. After about 2 weeks, I forgot about all my health problems!
