Stress Management
There are cases where indigestion is caused by digestive conditions like peptic ulcers or gastritis. However, there are also instances where chronic indigestion or dyspepsia occurs without any apparent health issue. After your healthcare provider rules out any underlying conditions, they may prescribe an over-the-counter pain reliever to soothe the symptoms. However, it’s a short-term solution at best.
Those looking to resolve the issue in the long term need to adopt healthy stress management practices because the emotional tension and mental strain it causes may be the culprit behind the upset stomach. Some examples include meditation, yoga, and working out. Giving yourself enough time to spend on enjoyable activities like hobbies can also make a difference in keeping stress at a reasonably low level.
Specific essential oils can also have calming effects, such as lavender, rose, vetiver, bergamot, and orange blossom. In addition, limiting your caffeine intake, practicing deep breathing exercises, and being in the company of loved ones whenever possible can all help drive down your stress levels. So don’t take it for granted. If you leave your stress unchecked, it can lead to various health issues, including stomach problems.
