Prepare a Home Remedy for Indigestion

Step 1
Get minty-fresh. Add 2 to 3 drops of mint essence to about 8 oz. of water. Consume this mixture every 3 to 4 hours.

Step 2
Discover new uses for baking powder. To an 8-oz. glass of water, add 1 heaping tsp. of baking soda, and consume. This is one of the oldest known remedies for indigestion.

Step 3
Go with ginger. About 10 minutes before your meal, nibble on some ginger, combined with table salt. Ginger is said to help promote digestion.

Step 4
Have some honey. Prepare a brew consisting of 1 Tbsp. lemon juice, 1 tsp. honey and 8 oz. of water. Some swear by honey's ability to soothe the tummy.

Step 5
Spice it up. In India, a common cure for indigestion involves taking equal parts dried mint leaves, black pepper, coriander seeds, ginger powder, cumin and asafoetida (hing) and grinding them into a powder using a coffee grinder. This powder should be taken 2 times a day, after meals.
