Natural Treatment of Stomach Pain With Diet and Homeopathy

The natural treatment of stomach pain, stomach ache or colic needs to start off with trying to understand why you are in pain. You need to know the cause, if possible. For example the treatment of stomach pain from food poisoning is going to be very different from that which may be caused by rich food.

Then you need to consider the character of the pain. Is it burning or cramping in nature? Perhaps it’s a constant dull ache, or a sharp, pulsing stab.

The next thing is to know what naturally makes it better or worse. Does curling up in the foetal position may it more bearable, or is it better by arching your back? Perhaps heat or cold has some impact on how it feels?

Once you have worked out these critical and very personal symptoms, then you are well on the way to selecting an appropriate homeopathic medicine which will help.

Homeopathy is a complete and natural health care system. It works by stimulating your immune system, the only way to effectively become healthier. Many conditions are best treated by professional homeopaths, but you can do some good yourself by using the common home prescribing medicines.

For example, a stomach pain which is caused by food poisoning, with much purging both as diarrhoea and vomiting, has a burning character, and some relief is felt with warm applications, then the most appropriate and helpful medicine is likely to be Arsenicum album.

However, if your colic was caused by eating rich food, the character of the pain was cramping and tight clothes made the pain worse, while warmth provided some relief, then the best medicine may be Nux vomica.

Again, if the pain was brought on by the consumption of too much rich food, your stomach feels heavy and disordered, with a lot of flatulence and you feel some relief from cold applications, then Pulsatilla may bring you the best relief.

There are many more homeopathic medicines which will effectively treat your stomach ache, but many of these medicines are not available to the home prescriber, so a visit to a professional homeopath may be your best option.

Don’t forget that your diet is critical to your well being. If you regularly eat a lot of processed food, then you’ll never be healthy regardless of the treatment. Learn to take control of your life and your health. Don’t rely on others to fix the problem that you are creating.

If you regularly suffer with stomach pain, now is a good time to make some changes. Eat more fresh fruit and vegetables and less animal protein and processed food. Avoid packets, cans, frozen food, artificial food and anything which keeps indefinitely.
