The Digestive System
The Digestive system is a long and complex one. Beginning in the mouth and winding its ways through many many metres before ending up – well quite literally – at the bottom.
Indigestion, Heartburn & Belching
Any number of things can go awry along the route of the digestive tract. Problems at the top – in the stomach, could actually start with a failure to chew your food properly, so ensure you always chew your food properly and try and remain seated for 10 minutes after eating.
Other issues include problems like reflux, acid indigestion and belching. For information on how natural remedies could be helpful for these problems have a look at our blog post on indigestion.
Bloating and Wind
Lower down, the most common issues tend to be bloating, wind and bowel problems. Problems like bloating and wind may be linked to either poor breakdown of your food, or a build up of unfriendly bacteria. We have put together a special package aimed at helping you deal with the issues associated with wind and bloating. This even includes dietary guidelines.
Bowel Problems & IBS
Bowel issues can be more complicated. To give you more information on each problem we have a number of blog posts covering different problems involving digestive and bowel health. These include:
Different ways of dealing with diarrhoea
Natural Help for Constipation
Natural Remedies for Irritable Bowel Syndrome
