Stomach aches, whether due to intolerances, bloating, constipation, or another reason, are never enjoyable. While there are plenty of medical remedies to assist with them, you may not always want to take pills or medication to relieve the pain. So, what can you do in that situation?
Fortunately, countless natural remedies can help you overcome even the worst stomach aches without the need for medical intervention. Some of them can be found online while shopping the Jomeis Fine Foods range.
They include:
Drinking plenty of water
If you are finding that you're feeling bloated or experiencing an uncomfortable nagging sensation in your stomach, it may be because you are low on fluids. So, your best solution is to drink plenty of water throughout the day. This is approximately 2.7 litres for women and 3.7 litres for men.
Try to space out all of this water drinking throughout the day, too. Leaving all of your water intake for dinner time can also be responsible for stomach aches.
Aim for 1 litre in the morning, 1 in the middle of the day, and the rest of your water intake at dinner time. If you're exercising, it's important to remember that you will need more water.
Add some mint to your diet
Did you know that mint is a powerful gut healer? Not only can it reduce bloating, but it can also help to assist digestion and prevent nausea. It's great for everyone experiencing stomach discomfort too, including pregnant women. This is because the methanol that mint leaves behind is a natural pain reliever that can ease discomfort.
All forms of mint can help with this too. Try chewing some mint gum, drinking some mint-infused tea, or sipping on a Jomeis Fine Foods Nutritional Minty Cacao Latte.
If you're prone to stomach aches, drinking a Nutritional Latte a day can help prevent pain and discomfort before it arises.
Eating some ginger
Like mint, ginger is a natural remedy for stomach pain that can make an amazing difference to your gut health. As a natural anti-inflammatory, it is great for reducing bloating and keeping your body feeling its best every day. Consuming it in various forms is also effective for easing stomach pain; this includes drinking it each morning in a warm cup of Nutritional Spicy Ginger Latte.
If you're looking to get even more ginger in your diet, you can even mix our Nutritional Ginger Latte with some vegan mayonnaise to create a flavour-packed sandwich topping.
Sipping on some Chamomile Tea
If chewing on raw mint or ginger just really isn't your thing, there are still plenty of alternatives to remedy an upset stomach. One of them is chamomile tea, which can be purchased from any supermarket for only a few dollars. Chamomile tea works to ease stomach aches, much like ginger does. As it's a natural anti-inflammatory, it can reduce bloating and bid goodbye to stomach issues that may be making you feel unwell.
To make your chamomile tea even more powerful, try adding a splash of honey. The Jomeis Fine Foods Adaptogenic Honey range is a great way to achieve all-around wellness while also adding a great taste to your tea.
Keep your foods bland
The BRAT diet has long been known to help improve gut health when you are feeling uneasy. It's great for times when you are experiencing diarrhoea or the constant urge to go to the toilet. The BRAT diet includes plain foods, such as bananas, rice, applesauce, and toast, which are known to ease the stomach. As they contain no spices and low salts, they are the ideal solution for when food just doesn't seem to stay down.
Add some heat
While natural remedies largely involve consumption, it's important not to underestimate the power of a good heat pack. Not only can these distract you from the pain or discomfort you may be feeling, but they're also proven to help with severe cramping, such as those experienced during menstruation.
This is because adding heat to the affected area can help relax the muscles causing said pain. When used correctly, this can help evade symptoms, including unbearable tightness, nausea, and even vomiting.
