Home remedies?

Do you happen to have any fresh ginger root in the house?

If so, make a tea with some of it. Slice off some thin slices about 1/16 to 1/8" thick, about 10 or 12, then put it into a pot with about a pint of water, bring to a slow boil, then shut off the heat and let steep for about 5 to 10 min, then drink.

stomach viruses,

2 Cinnamon capsules as often as needed

This makes a tea, sweetened, iced or hot that can be sipped to actually CURE a stomach virus. If you begin throwing up, keep on sipping the cinnamon "tea" until vomiting stops.Cinnamon capsules can be purchased at some health food stores now and are not only excellent for curing stomach viruses, but are extremely good at stopping viral infections, including colds and flu. IndigestionAdd 4 tablespoons of Baking Soda to a Coffee Cup size glass filled with warm water. Drink the mixture as fast as you can. The taste is horrible - kind of fishy but it definitely works! give it about 5-10 minutes. My great grandmother would put a tablespoon of pumpkin spices into a 8oz glass of water. Give it a couple of stirs with the spoon and drink. It works very well for upset stomach also throwing up.
Enjoy!

Ginger and mint tea. Best thing out there. Even works for car sickness.

 

When we were little my Mom always used 7Up and saltines.

 

When DW and I were first married I managed to catch a good case of the flu. DW says "don't go anywhere (like I was going to have any distance between me and the bathroom), she comes back in about 10 min with this brew. She tells me to drink it, my reaction was kind of "I don't know about this" but with her further urging iI cautiously started sipping the ginger tea. The reaction was almost immediate, the turning and twisting in my stomach subsided and within what seemed like an hour, I was back to normal.

The 7up and crackers was also a staple in our household when I was a kid.

 

Plain ole ginger snap cookies settle a sick tummy. I vote for the saltine and 7-up cure mentioned above as well. Sometimes the simplest things work the best.

Good to hear that you're feeling better Marjorie. Get some real ginger ale or ginger beer. That will keep for a long time and you can have it on hand when you need it. My kids like Thomas Kemper's.
