Thanks for the tips. I’ve heard a lot about the Chamomile and how it’s been used as a digestive and nervous system tonic. While its typical to find it administered in tea format, concentrated extracts of the chamomile have been integrated with the natural compounds of the Meadowsweet and Slippery Elm in herbal remedies to promote digestive comfort following meals, stimulate proper nutrient absorption, maintain healthy digestive acids and for the upkeep of digestive health.

I am a pharmacy student and I rarely rely on home remedies that are not backed by scientific evidence. I was having a terrible episode of dyspepsia and had numerous Tums that left nasty taste in my mouth and did nothing for my indigestion. I read this website and drank a glass of water with baking soda. My stomach started deflating within one minute of drinking it…I started burping alot and felt so much better. it’s amazing!
