With Thanksgiving around the corner, we wanted to discuss over indulgence incase you find yourself a little too stuffed, dealing with upset tummies, or hyperactivity from a bit too many sweets.
Nux Vomica is a great holiday remedy for over indulgence – too much of anything, alcohol, food, sugar. Nux Vom relieves nausea and cramps from indigestion, especially after excessive eating of spicy food or drinking coffee or alcohol.
Saccharum officinarum is a great remedy to take before or after meals to help with sugar cravings and support blood sugar response. It can also be a great remedy for kiddos who experience hyperactivity after consuming too many sweets.
Lycopodium is a great remedy for fullness after just a few bites, embarrassing gas, distension, and that classic right-sided digestive pattern. Think, “I’m so bloated I might pop – but yes, I still want dessert.”
Carbo veg is perfect for extreme bloating, gas, burping and wanting fresh air. Think: “unbuttoned my pants, lying on the couch, please open a window…now!”
Arsenicum for food poisoning type reactions from questionable leftovers or under-cooked turkey. Burning pains, anxiety, restlessness. Think: “Something i ate wasn’t right…and now I’m spiraling.”
Iris Versicolor for intense acid reflux or burning indigestion after heavy meals. Think: “fire breathing dragon post pie.”
If you happen to have our home support line remedies ‘Belly Buddy’ for ‘Friend Zyme’ on hand – these contain many of the above remedies, making them easy in these scenarios.
