Complementary and Alternative Treatments for Indigestion


Nutrition and Supplementation

Adding papaya and fresh pineapple to your diet may help, as both contain enzymes beneficial to digestion. Limit your intake of lentils, peanuts, and soybeans; they contain an enzyme inhibitor. Check with a health practitioner to make sure you don't have food sensitivities or serious illnesses, such as gastroesophageal reflux disease. A well-balanced diet high in fiber (fresh fruits, vegetables, and whole grains) is ideal.

The following daily supplement program helps prevent and/or treat digestive disorders:

Most Important

proteolytic enzymes (as directed on label)-break down protein for absorption

a prodophilus formula (as directed on label)-important for normal digestion; replaces friendly bacteria

vitamin B complex (50 mg 3 times daily, with meals)-necessary for normal digestion

Also Recommended

L-methionine (as directed on label)-detoxifies liver

multi-enzyme complex (as directed on label)-improves digestion

gamma orizanol (as directed on label)-protects and heals the stomach mucosa

bovine colostrum (as directed on label)-heals damaged stomach tissue

curcumin (as directed on label)-anti-inflammatory agent

N-acetyl glucosamine (as directed on label)-heals the stomach wall

(For an acute condition, take supplements until your symptoms subside. If symptoms persist, seek the advice of your health care provider. For a chronic condition, consult your healthcare provider regarding the duration of treatment.)

Aromatherapy

Prepare a comforting essential oil by combining 1 teaspoon canola or safflower oil and 4 drops of any of the following essential oils: ginger, Roman chamomile, coriander, fennel, lavender, peppermint, or rose-mary. Lie down and massage this preparation into your stomach using a gentle circular motion. Alternately, you can apply a hot compress spiked with essential oil to your abdomen. Repeat as often as necessary.

Ayurvedic Medicine

Good digestion, according to Ayurveda, depends on a strong agni, or digestive fire. To kindle the fire and speed digestion, Ayurvedic practitioners may advise trying one or more of the following treatments: Take shatavari, Ayurveda bitters, Gasex (2 to 3 tablets after meals), or Bonnisan. Snack on ginger root, drink bay leaf tea, or munch on a small handful of fennel or cumin seeds daily.

Ayurvedic products are available at many health food stores and Indian pharmacies.
