Indigestion Home Remedies:

Apple cider vinegar is best for any form of indigestion (including neck indigestion, chest pain and indigestion, stomach, digestion, etc.) - better than(at least as good as) any medicine than you can take. Take about 2-3 teaspoons per 16 oz. of water and make sure that you mix it well and use straws(important - teeth). Also, note that it is an if all else fails type of solution, because of vinegar's effect as it directly touches your teeth. Try ketchup and mustard(I put up the original ketchup mustard post, too; forgot to sign it) first, as it works for nearly all stomach and chest indigestion. For acid reflux or neck indigestion, you may want to forgo the ketchup and mustard and use vinegar the water mixture above. If neither of these cocktails works, then you may have something serious and the problem may need iatrogenic care. That's how good these remedies are!

01. Chewing a small piece of fresh ginger with table salt five or 10 minutes before meals is good to stimulate digestion.
02. Take an equal amount of black pepper, dried mint leaves, ginger powder, coriander seeds, cumin (jeera) and asafoetida (hing). Grind them together to make fine powder. Take one teaspoonful of this powder twice a day after meals.
03. Drinking buttermilk (lassi) after breakfast or lunch improves digestion. Adding roasted cumin seed powder and a little of salt into buttermilk enhances its effectiveness.
04. Taking plain soda water gives immediate relief from symptoms of gas, distended abdomen and acidity.
05. Mix equal parts of baking soda and water in a glass. Drink as soon as you feel indigestion coming.
06. Half a glass of carrot juice mixed with equal quantity of water is useful in this disease.
07. Mix a tablespoon of lemon juice in a cup of hot water and drink it before a meal to prevent acid indigestion.

Stop consuming high fructose corn syrup (or whatever else they, yes them, try to rename it). In the 70's I had zero digestive problems. It began in the 80's. It took to the 90's to figure out finally it was freaking HFCS.
