Chamomile for Indigestion
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 as a valuable herb for expelling gas from the stomach.
Peppermint for Indigestion
Half a teaspoon peppermint essence in
half a cup of hot water
The carminative oils in peppermint are soluble in water therefore a peppermint essence will work much better than an infusion made from this herb which is well respected as a digestive aid and its ability to soothe the lining of the stomach.
Now it makes sense which there are always mints available in restaurants when leaving after a good meal.
Try mixing the two, a soothing chamomile infusion with a half teaspoon of peppermint essence, and nail the indigestion from two sides!!
