There are several wonderful herbs for mild cases of indigestion, tummy ache, or even agita. (For those of you who are not Italian-American, agita is loosely translated as “nervous stomach.” In other words, someone got you all riled up and now you have a stomachache.) Here is a brief selection:
- Anise (hence the Italian after-dinner liqueur Sambuca)
- Catnip
- Dandelion
- Fennel
- Peppermint
Of course, as with any kind of remedy, you need to check with a practitioner first. Some herbs will be better for you than others, especially if you are already taking prescriptions medications. And dosage will vary too. Remember, I’m not a doctor.
If you are interested in herbal remedies, check out Herbalist & Alchemist, Herb Pharm, New Chapter, Oregon’s Wild Harvest, and Gaia Herbs, just to name a few good companies.
Be well!
