Learn Unusual Indigestion
Treatments To
Relieve Digestive Discomforts!
By: Nishanth Reddy
In search for an indigestion treatment, lots
of people come up with some usual indigestion treatment
options. Indigestion is one of the most common ailments,
which affects around 36% of all healthy Americans.
There are many treatment options for
indigestion. Here are few treatments described for
indigestion.
Baking Soda as Indigestion Treatment
Some people use baking soda as a home
indigestion remedy. When you are using baking soda as
indigestion treatment, take half-teaspoon of baking soda
completely dissolved in water.
This medication is taken as often as every
two hours or whenever you need it. A lot of people state
that this is very efficient but medical practitioners say
that baking soda has sodium in it which can cause fluid
retention.
In other words, when you take baking soda as
a form of medication for indigestion, you are exposing
yourself to another form of health hazard.
Furthermore, the myth that you cannot take
too much of baking soda and that you are in no danger for
any overdose is definitely a misnomer. Don’t ever believe
it.
Sodium content in baking soda makes the
blood too alkaline if taken in high doses. Don’t drink too
much of baking soda solution as it can become toxic in your
blood.
Drink Ginger Ale as Indigestion Treatment
Another unusual indigestion treatment option
which people take to relieve themselves of indigestion is to
drink ginger ale to induce belching. Compared to pressing
once stomach to induce belching, this one is a lot better.
The belching and burping thing usually come
after drinking the ginger ale and it does not carry some
undigested food with it. Many people said that it is a good
indigestion cure that has no side effects.
Belching and Burping As Indigestion
Treatment
Belching and burping relieves the pressure
on the stomach, which is associated with indigestion. One of
the usual options that people take in order to relieve
indigestion is to find a way to facilitate burping or
belching.
You can put hot compress and lie flat on
your stomach to press the gas out. As a result you start
burping and belching. Unfortunately, in some cases, vomiting
may follow burping especially if you just had a full meal.
Pressing the stomach would tend to press the
food inside and at some instances, food would finds its way
back into the esophagus and is purged out of the mouth
together with the belch.
Blowing Tobacco Smoke as Indigestion
Treatment
Now, if you think the other three
indigestion treatment options are rather unusual and kind of
unorthodox, this one really tops it all. In some areas of
the world, people would blow tobacco smoke into the stomach
of the person who is suffering from indigestion.
According to them, evil spirits in the food
you eat causes indigestion. The smoke from tobacco or
cigarettes would purge out the evil spirit from the stomach
and cure indigestion.
