UPSET STOMACH
Tummy Aches

An upset stomach is an affliction that is common in people of all ages and walks of life. Stomach problems can be caused by a myriad of problems big and small including stress, food poisoning, food allergies and problems with digestion. Sometimes it is the littlest thing that you would not even think about that is causing your discomfort. Here are several ways to deal with an upset stomach.

 Sometimes, it is not the food you are eating, but the lack of food that causes stomach problems. Eschewing food for extended periods can lead to a buildup stomach acid, which will cause a lot of discomfort. Your body is generally preconditioned to expect food at certain times of the day and ends up getting all its stomach juices flowing in anticipation of this. The best way to cure this type of stomach ailment is to eat a nice healthy snack to give these acids something to work on. Also, stay away from the soda pop. This will only make matters worse.

Oftentimes, it does happen to be the foods you are eating that are giving you a tummy ache. In this case, the best solution is to drink a good tea that will help settle your stomach and aid in digestion. A simple green tea is good as is tea made from chamomile, ginger, mint or cinnamon. A little honey or sugar added to the tea will benefit you as well. Tea has been used for stomach problems for centuries and will undoubtedly see continued use for generations to come.

Charcoal is another great way to cure an upset stomach. Just mix some activated charcoal with hot water and drink. Charcoal acts as a neutralizer, absorbing whatever is bothering you and taking it to the colon.

Well there are many other tried and true home remedies out there that are sure to help a given individual with an upset tummy, these are the simplest ones that usually always work. When looking to cure your stomach problems it is important to listen to your body and determine the cause before your try any of these simple little cures. 

Activated Charcoal

Activated Charcoal has been used in the treatment of toxic events for almost 100 years with a remarkable record of safety. It adsorbs a wide variety of toxic compounds and facilitates their gastrointestinal remove. The natural absorbing properties of activated charcoal can help quell the storm in your stomach. The Poison Control Centers recommend having activated charcoal in every home in order to prepare for an accidental poisoning or drug overdose. Keep this safe and effective remedy on hand at all times. You never know when you'll need it.

Activated charcoal is one of the neatest remedies that I have run across in my endless search for natural cures. This stuff is so useful, so amazing, that it does not deserve a plain sounding moniker like “activated charcoal”.  It really deserves to more dignified name that properly conveys its miraculous curative powers, something that sounds like Latin or Greek.

While activated charcoal has a ton of uses, the most important role it performs is to prevent poison substances from entering the system in the case of accident ingestion. Giving activated charcoal to someone who has ingested something toxic (household cleaners, sedatives, narcotics, pain killers)  could save their life.

Here is how activated charcoal works. Activated charcoal is a highly adsorbent substance.  Now, before you assume I made a spelling error, please note that meant to say adsorbent with a d, not absorbent with a b. Adsorption is a slightly different process in which molecules will adhere to the surface of the charcoal. As activated charcoal moves through you G.I. Tract, everything that it passes will attach to the surface of it. Activated charcoal cannot be digested, so it and everything that has clung to it, leaves you during the next bowel movement. Now, you can see why this stuff is so effective is stopping poisons from being absorbed into your body. And this time I do mean absorb.

Besides helping save lives, ingesting activated charcoal also has several other health benefits. It can help eliminate fungi, viruses, and bacteria found in the body and can also adsorb gases and relieve you of painful gas pains or flatulence. There is also a reason why activated charcoal is used in air purifiers. It actually removes foul odors. This is something you might want to take into consideration if your farts can clear a room. Just think, no more blaming it on the dog. Recent research has also pointed to activated charcoal as a way to lower your cholesterol and improve your heart.

This stuff comes in powder and pill form, with pills, being the most convenient, less messy way to take it with you where ever you go. Mixing the powder with water to form a paste is a good way to ease the sting of insect bites.

While activated charcoal is pretty amazing stuff, there are some precautions that you need to heed before taking it. First, remember activated charcoals adsorbs just about everything it touches, including water and medications. Dehydration is the most common problem that people have when taking activated charcoal. Swelling of the stomach, constipation and vomiting might occur if dehydration becomes severs so be sure to drink plenty of water. Do not take medication and activated charcoal together. The medication will just be adsorbed and you will not receive it benefits. Diary product should be avoided when taking activated charcoal also, since milk seems to lessen its effectiveness.

Everyone should have a bottle of activated charcoal around. It’s not too pricey (around ten bucks a bottle) and it obviously has a lot of useful applications. For those of you with little kids running around and getting into stuff, it is doubly important to have this stuff around in case of an emergency. This stuff, while simple, is so amazing that if you do not have any, I encourage you to run out and get some right away. Just do not forget your keys.

Home Remedies

  • Swallow 5 black pepper peas and drink a glass of water.
  • Mix 8 teaspoons of sugar, 1 teaspoon of salt, 1 teaspoon of baking soda and 1 L of boiled water. Drink it in 2-3 times.
  • Mix 3 oz (80 -90 ml) of vodka with 1/3 spoon of salt and drink it.

Blackberry is very effective for food poisining, diarrhea and vomiting. In May pick up some blackberry twigs, let them dry and keep it in a dark dry place. In a case of upset stomach, take 1 blackberry twig with 4-5 leaves on it, add 1 cup of boiling water, boil it for 5 minutes on low heat and let it cool. Drink the extract slowly. 1 portion will be enough.
