Ever Tried Indian Home Remedies for Stomach Ache?

You ever had one of those days where your stomach acts up right when you need to focus? It happened to me last week. I was halfway through a Zoom meeting when this sharp stomach ache hit — no warning, just discomfort. Classic timing, right? That got me thinking… how do people deal with these sudden digestive problems without running for pills every time?

Turns out, our kitchens might hold the answers. I started digging around and came across some pretty interesting Indian home remedies that people swear by. And honestly, they make sense — simple, natural, easy to try.

One thing that kept popping up was ginger. Everyone talks about it for nausea and bloating. You can chew a piece with a bit of salt or make tea, and it supposedly helps pretty fast. I saw this on Pinterest where someone shared a whole board about herbal remedies:

Then there’s Ajwain, or carom seeds. Never thought much of those before, but people use them to ease gas and indigestion. I even spotted a discussion on Threads where folks shared how they rely on ajwain during stressful workdays:

Buttermilk with cumin, black salt, and mint? That one surprised me, but apparently it cools your stomach and helps after heavy meals. Some folks in this Facebook post were all about this trick after big family dinners:

I can’t forget fennel seeds — saunf as they call it. Chew them after meals, they help with bloating and freshen your breath. A Twitter thread going around shared how fennel seeds are a hidden gem for digestive issues:

Funny thing, when I was scrolling LinkedIn of all places, there was a post about how gut health affects your energy levels at work:

It’s wild how much of this knowledge has been around for generations but we often forget to use it.

So now I’m curious — have you tried any home remedies for stomach aches? Do they actually work for you, or do you stick with the usual meds? Would love to hear your experiences!
