An upset stomach could be a result of indigestion, morning sickness, motion sickness or bacterial infection. If you suspect you have a bacterial infection, the best solution is to see a doctor.

However, indigestion, morning and motion sickness are easily treatable using home remedies. Some common symptoms include nausea, bloating, heartburn and gas which cause discomfort and sometimes, physical pain.

Not to mention, it can embarrass you at the worst moment by making noises in front of people. If you experience an upset stomach, here are some natural remedies to help.

1. Mint

For those who suffer from motion sickness, mint is a holy grail. It removes that bad taste in your mouth as well as giving you fresh breath which can be compromised by an upset stomach. Additionally, mint helps relieve pain and muscle spasms in the intestines. It is, therefore, highly recommended to drink some mint tea in case you have an upset stomach. For travellers who get motion sickness, always carry a pack of mint gum or sweets in your bag.

2. Yoghurt

The last thing you want when you have an upset stomach is dairy products. However, yoghurt contains good bacteria that ease digestive problems. Make sure that you go for the low-fat yoghurt with no sugar as fat and sugar could worsen your dietary issues. You can sweeten it with berries which also add roughage that helps with digestion.

3. Pawpaw

Proteins are some of the hardest foods to digest which results in bloating, constipation and gas. Pawpaw contains papain enzyme which breaks down proteins so that they are easily digestible. Additionally, pawpaw seeds get rid of intestinal parasites which contribute to a stomach upset. The next time you go for grocery shopping, don’t forget to buy some pawpaws.

4. Turmeric

Apart from giving colour and flavour to food, turmeric has a number of medicinal values that have been approved by the World Health Organization (WHO). Among them is healing acid reflux and gas. It contains an ingredient called curcumin which reduces acidic levels in the gut thus preventing heartburns and formation of excess gas.

5. Water

Sometimes, it’s as simple as drinking the recommended amount of water. Our digestive system needs fluid to ease the process of breaking down food. When there aren’t enough fluids in our diet, our digestive system struggles which lead to an upset stomach. Additionally, water helps reduce gas buildup in the stomach thus preventing bloating. Avoid drinking caffeine when you have an upset stomach instead increase your water intake.

6. Lemon Tea

If you’re feeling bloated, fix a cup of hot water with lemon. The acidity helps digest any lingering food as well as break down gases in the stomach. Lemon tea can also help boost metabolism thus reducing belly fat that can cause an upset stomach.

7. Move Around

Try not to sit still for also long when you have an upset stomach as this only makes it worse. Moving around could boost digestion. It also prevents cramping which is a common culprit of an upset stomach. Try doing light yoga poses as they are good for stretching.

8. Ginger

Ginger is known as the jack of all trade when it comes to herbs. It’s a flavouring ingredient in many recipes and a natural healer. It’s best known for its antiemetic effect which helps get rid of nausea and a runny stomach. It’s especially effective when you’re suffering from menstrual cramps or if you’re prone to motion sickness.
