Quite a few items that are readily available in the kitchen can very easily and effectively treat common forms of indigestion. A very common form of indigestion is linked to the feeling of a bloated stomach. This is generally caused by trapped gases in the stomach.

Drinking a homemade digestive drink will provide quick relief. Add a teaspoon of rock salt to a glass of club soda. You will see bubbles come out immediately. Finish the drink before the bubbles subside. It works well to relieve your stomach gas. Rock salt has traditionally been used to treat indigestion.

Stomachaches
Eating semi-cooked food or left over, stale food is likely to cause pain and cramps in the stomach. If this describes the condition, consume lemon or ginger for effective relief.

Roast half a lime on the flame and sprinkle it with rock salt. Keep sucking on this lemon as frequently as you would like. You’ll find it tasty and helpful for stomachaches. The consumption of ginger is much simpler. Cut thin, fine slices of ginger and chewing the pieces till you feel relief. Ginger juice is helpful in eliminating gases from your stomach and eases pain too.

Loose Bowel Movements
If an upset stomach leaves you going to the toilet very frequently because of loose stool, a very simple way to treat that would be to keep sipping water mixed with equal portions of salt and sugar.

Drink the mixture a couple of times during the day. Anise seeds are also very good for such situations so mixing anise seeds with water also helps with constipation.

Constipation
An effective way to handle constipation is to have a glass of milk to which crushed figs have been added. In a glass of warm milk, add two or three crushed figs and drink that before going to bed at night.

Make sure that the mixture is warm when consumed. By the next morning your stomach will be cleared of all the toxic wastes that might have been collecting in the stomach.

By following these tips you can get rid of most common stomach disorders.
