Christmas madness is often a real challenge for the digestive system. Fortunately, there are many effective, in addition safe and natural ways to eliminate unwanted symptoms. Should quickly help you. Rarely convivial sins need to be treated with the help of a specialist.

Flatulence is due to excess gas in the intestines. Formed after an overdose of carbonated beverages, legumes, cabbage, whole-wheat bread, but also dairy or milk. Sometimes it is the result of excessive air swallowing during a meal: if we eat too fast, or talking at the same time trying to swallow mouthfuls. It is difficult, so now you have a stomach like a balloon: sore, causing discomfort.

Help: hot tea with fennel. A teaspoon of seeds pour a glass of cold water for fifteen minutes and then cook over a low heat. Strain broth must be ready and we drink in small sips ( to effectively warm the stomach, and at the same time not to get burned). If you do not like the taste of associated with children teas, reach for a cumin. Just two teaspoons grind in the mill, pour boiling water and drink after a quarter. Equally effective is a gentle massaging the stomach in a circular motion, in accordance with the clockwise direction. Do not forget the power of hot water bottle. Warm compresses accelerate the removal of gas from the body. For the future, it is worth remembering about adding to bloating food pinch of ginger or garlic.

Burning pain behind the breastbone, called heartburn, a symptom of regression of gastric contents from the stomach into the esophagus. It favors smoking, big portions of food, hot spices, sweet, yet heavy dishes (pies, donuts), coffee, alcohol, fatty and fried foods.

For heartburn eat dried bananas, apricots, or my favourite almonds. These fruits have the ability to neutralize stomach acids. Should help protect the lining of the esophagus and from irritation. Drink camomile tea. Even two glasses a day. For people who often have heartburn, is indicated the infusion of flaxseed (two tablespoons of seeds pour a glass of boiling water, drain off after an hour, and we drink before eating).
