Calming an upset stomach naturally involves soothing digestive distress, with ginger, proven by studies to reduce nausea and spasms, acting within 30 minutes by enhancing gastric motility. Peppermint relaxes stomach muscles, easing cramps, while small, bland meals like rice prevent irritation. Clear fluids like chamomile tea hydrate and soothe the stomach lining, and deep breathing calms nausea signals via the vagus nerve. These evidence-based remedies provide fast relief by addressing digestive upset directly, often outperforming medications in safety and efficacy.
