10. Chamomile
Chamomile tea is another traditional home remedy that has remained popular for generations.
Made from the dried flowers of the chamomile plant, this naturally caffeine-free beverage is commonly enjoyed in the evening or whenever someone wants to relax.
Chamomile has traditionally been used for a variety of complaints, including stomach discomfort, but scientific evidence supporting it as a specific treatment for indigestion remains limited.
That doesn’t mean a cup of chamomile tea can’t be comforting.
For someone who enjoys warm beverages, preparing tea and taking a few minutes to relax may make an uncomfortable evening more manageable.
Chamomile also offers an alternative to coffee or caffeinated tea, which can trigger symptoms in some people with reflux or indigestion.
There are a few precautions, however.
People who are allergic to ragweed, daisies, chrysanthemums, or related plants may also react to chamomile. Chamomile can interact with certain medications, including blood thinners, and its safety during pregnancy is not well established.
Try this: If you tolerate chamomile and aren’t affected by these precautions, consider enjoying a cup of warm, unsweetened chamomile tea as part of a relaxing evening routine.
Just remember that herbal tea is not a substitute for medical treatment when indigestion is persistent or severe.
