You may or may not know what causes it, but pain, intense, excruciating and severe, takes you to the point where nothing else matters. And yet there is no easy way of eliminating pain

STOMACHACHE

• Fast for a day or two or just eat light.

• Drink magnetized water.

• Ayurveda has some effective medicines for stomachaches. Lavan bhaskar churan is the ayurvedic equivalent of digene, either of which can be taken.

• Naturopathy lays down an elaborate regimen to prevent stomachaches, for the malfunction of the digestive system not only makes the stomach ache, but is the cause of many other ailments. Errend oil can be used as a laxative to improve digestion.

• Drink at least 10 glasses of water every day, and at least three to four on an empty stomach.

• Train your body to excrete twice a day. This prevents gas formation.

• Apply a cloth dipped in cold water on your stomach, three hours after dinner, for at least 20 minutes. A warm water enema is recommended if you suffer from chronic constipation.

• Eating an excess of rich, spicy food often leads to stomachaches. Be careful about what you eat or drink.
