Herbal Remedies For GIT Upsets

A Special Thanks to Patterson Simon

Gastro-intestinal tract “GIT” disorders are like unwanted guests. They can occur on a daily basis and are always unwanted. Herbal remedies can provide fast, effective and easy-to-use relief; such as drinking simple teas or even chewing fresh leaves.

Here is a list of some common GIT problems and the most proven herbal remedies for their treatment.

BAD BREATH
• Parsley: a mouth gargle or chewing fresh leaves can help remove bad odours, especially effective after fish or onion meals.
• Cardamom: chewing cardamom can refresh your breath.

STOMACH ACHES AND GASTROENTERITIS
• Coriander: reduces any stomach pain.
• Ginger: for quick stomachache relief.
• Cinnamon: a good food additive to prevent any stomach trouble.
• Fennel: a quick fix for stomach aches, and effective as an anti-flatulent.

GAS AND FLATULENCE
• Many herbal remedies help stop the feeling of fullness and flatulence, such as:
Caraway oil,
Angelica oil
Chamomile oil
Dandelion
Hops

CONSTIPATION
• Sienna is the most effective herb used in treating constipation; it is now widely used in many pharmaceutical preparations.

DIARRHEA
• Add one tablespoon of starch to 20 ml water, squeeze one lemon over the mix, then stir and consume for fast relief of diarrhea.• You can chew the remainder of the lemon “including all the skin” for better results.
