Too much Liquid whilst eating dilutes the digestive juices, but a glass of water or wine aids them.

Fatty foods or fried foods can stimulate acid output in the gut which can cause uncomfortable feelings of indigestion.

Chamomile.

• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 1 tablespoon dried ground chamomile
• 1 tablespoon aniseed

Mix well and take a half teaspoon after each meal.

Chamomile has been known through the centuries as an excellent digestive herb, and aniseed is a valuable herb for expelling gas from the stomach.

What is the best thing to drink for Indigestion?
Peppermint Tea
