Home Remedies for Stomach Aches & Cramps

â—?

Stomachaches are so common that everyone experiences them at one point or another. There are dozens of reasons why you might get a tummy ache. Most causes aren’t serious and the symptoms pass quickly.

●

Stomach aches, also broadly called “abdominal pain,” are tricky things to find remedies for unless you know the cause.

Ranging from indigestion and irritable bowel syndrome to gastritis and GERD, an aching tummy can stem from many things.

â—?

Some natural and simple home remedies can give you quick relief.

These home remedies are particularly effective for stomach aches due to indigestion, gas, bloating and similar conditions.

Cup of Chamomile Tea

â—?

Chamomile can help ease the pain of a stomach ache by working as an antiinflammatory and by relaxing the smooth muscle of the upper digestive track. When it relaxes that muscle, the contractions that are pushing food through your system ease up a bit and lessen the pain of cramping and spasms.

Rice Water

â—?

Rice water is exactly what it sounds like-the water left-over after you cook rice. It acts a demulcent, meaning a substance that relieves inflammation by forming a sort of soothing barrier over a membrane, in this case, the lining of your stomach.

Peppermint

â—?

Peppermint is often cited as a helpful fix for nausea and upset stomach because the menthol in its leaves is a natural analgesic, or pain reliever. This should keep stomach pangs at bay and alleviate feelings of nausea.

Apple cider vinegar

â—?

If you can stomach it, try taking this acidic pantry staple by the tablespoon to neutralize an upset stomach. The acids in apple cider vinegar may help decrease starch digestion, allowing the starch to get to the intestines and keep the bacteria in the gut healthy.

Chew Fennel Seeds â—?

Let’s say your stomach ache is being caused by indigestion. In this case, chewing fennel seeds will help as they contain anethole, a volatile oil that can stimulate the secretion of digestive juices to help move things along. If you are suffering from gastritis, inflammation of the stomach, this may provide some relief from the discomfort.
