Hi,
The following is taken from today's Dr. Andrew Weil's tip of the day e-mail and thought it might be of interest:
"Tip: Easy Treatment for Indigestion
Eating on the run, overeating, and fatty, spicy foods can leave you with a bad case of indigestion. Before you reach for over-the-counter medications, try a soothing cup of peppermint tea. I suggest buying pure peppermint tea, brewing it in a covered container to retain the volatile components, and then drinking it either hot or iced. Do keep in mind that while peppermint tea soothes the lining of the digestive tract, it can also aggravate esophageal reflux syndrome by relaxing the muscular ring at the junction of the esophagus and the stomach. If you suffer from reflux, chamomile tea might be a better choice."
