Registered Homeopath and natural health consultant Kiran Grover explores the best homeopathic medicines for your gut health.

Gut health problems are common. Symptoms can range from pain, bloating, gas, fatigue and appetite issues. Further symptoms can also include constipation and or diarrhoea which can cause much distress and discomfort

Homeopathy can be very effective at dealing with gut health problems by reducing the intensity of the symptoms and addressing the underlying root cause of the problems. In my clinic as well as using polycrest remedies and smaller homeopathic remedies I often successfully use bowel nosodes to treat gut health problems.

Homeopathic treatment can address the underlying gut health problems and improve your overall digestive health. Chronic gut health problems need a personalised approach, including specific prescriptions, prescribed by a qualified homeopath to tackle the patient’s individualised problems.

5 Homeopathic Remedies for Gut Health Problems

Nux Vom

This homeopathic remedy relieves nausea and cramps from indigestion, especially after excessive eating of rich foods or drinking of alcohol. There can be an (ineffectual) urge to pass a stool. Nux Vom helps with overindulgence, constipation, and heartburn.

Ars Alb

This homeopathic medicine may be indicated if a person feels anxious, restless yet exhausted and feels worse from the smell and sight of food. Burning pain is felt in the stomach and oesophagus, which often feels better for warmth and sitting up. There can be nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. Drinking little sips of water can help reduce symptoms.

Carbo Veg

This homeopathic remedy helps relieve bloating and gas in the stomach, particularly when there is belching. For those who struggle with rich, fatty foods, Carbo Veg works to combat pain, heaviness and fullness in the stomach.

Lycopodium

This homeopathic medicine relieves discomfort and indigestion, with bloating around the waist and gas, especially after eating onions or garlic. Lycopodium helps to reduce uncomfortable and painful bloating in the lower stomach.

Nat Carb

This homeopathic remedy can be helpful to people who have trouble digesting and assimilating many foods and have to stay on restricted diets. Indigestion, heartburn and ulcers can occur if offending foods are eaten. Milk or dairy products can lead to flatulence or sputtery diarrhea that leaves an empty feeling in the stomach. Cravings for potatoes and sweets are common, as well as milk even though it makes these people sick, so they have learned to avoid it.

Homeopathic medicine can be really helpful in treating gut health problems. If you share my passion about treating gut health problems with homeopathy or if you want to find out more, get in touch with me to talk more about homeopathic treatment and digestive disorders.
