Treating Your Stomach Pain Naturally
Stomach pain can be debilitating. It can affect your quality of life and disrupt your daily routine. Often, the root cause of stomach pain can be traced back to an inefficient digestive system that is not working as it should. Treating your stomach pain naturally does not have to be difficult. With naturopathic medicine, acupuncture, massage therapy, and maybe some lifestyle changes you can start treating your stomach pain and getting back to feeling better!
Stomach pain can be caused by different factors, such as stress and lack of sleep, but it can also be due to the effects of an allergy or food intolerance. Working with a doctor of naturopathic medicine, for example, is a great way to tackle things in your diet or your lifestyle that might be contributing to your concerns. There are a number of natural remedies for stomach pain you can try at home, too. From soothing teas and herbal therapies to simply drinking warm fluids, with the proper education you may be able to find what works for your specific needs
Acid reflux (one cause of stomach pain) is something many of us deal with thinking there’s nothing that can be done, and we go for tests, take all kinds of medications, and so on and so on without much result. The truth, however, is this that dealing with stomach pain naturally in this case is often quite easy. Our stomachs release stomach acid into our esophagus when the sphincter (i.e. the muscle that opens and closes to let food into your stomach) does not close properly. For years this misunderstood mechanism has had doctors perplexed, and then it was discovered that there are adhesions, i.e. tissues fibers created from stress or poor diet choices usually, adhering to our stomachs that, with tension, pull on the sphincter. When this happens, acid from your stomach can be allowed into your esophagus, creating the uncomfortable sensation you’re feeling with reflux (which is why taking an antacid won’t actually cure the problem and may instead just interfere with your overall digestion). Luckily, therapies such as naturopathic medicine, acupuncture and even massage therapy can help relieve you of these adhesions affecting your stomach.
