Home Remedy for Upset Stomach

My favorite home remedy for upset stomach is a combination of three things you may already have in your spice rack, Anise Seeds, Caraway Seeds, and Fennel Seeds. If you don't have them, they are all readily available in any grocery store.

I recommend you purchase organic spices whenever possible, many grocery stores carry at least some organic herbs and spices, and may be able to special order them, if you ask. Most health food stores carry a good selection of organic spices.

To use these seeds as a natural remedy for nausea, (it also works for gas), take equal parts of each to make a heaping tablespoon of the three seeds. If you have a mortar and pestle, you can use it to slightly crack the seeds. If you don't have a mortar and pestle, you can place the seeds in a plastic bag, or between sheets of wax paper, and use a rolling pin or skillet bottom, and crush them that way. You are just looking to slightly crack the seeds, it is not necessary that you powder them. Place the seeds in a cup of boiling water and allow to steep for fifteen minutes. Strain and drink warm, as needed.

This is a very effective natural home remedy for nausea and upset stomach, and also quite safe. It is also a pleasant tasting drink.
