5 Transylvanian Saxon Remedies for Digestive Problems
1. Bloating
Anise tea is the most effective remedy for bloating even for babies), because the essential oils in anise soothe intestinal cramps and aid in fat digestion. Pour a cup of boiling water over 1 teaspoon of ground or crushed anise seeds, steep for 10 minutes (covered) and drink a cup of tea after the meal. This is one of the best Transylvanian Saxon remedies for digestive problems.
2. Stomach Cramps
In the case of abdominal pain, one of the best Saxon remedies is a warm chamomile compress. Pour 2 cups of boiling water over 2 teaspoons of chamomile, steep sit for 10 minutes, and soak a linen towel in the hot infusion. Squeeze well and apply over the abdomen. Cover with another thicker towel or a blanket and let it act for 15 minutes, as long as the compress is still warm. Alongside, drink chamomile tea. The heat relaxes and improves blood supply in the area, and aids nutrients and oxygen to reach the painful area more easily, while the essential oils in chamomile tea have an anti-inflammatory effect.
3. Diarrhea
The body flushes out residual substances that must be eliminated through diarrhea. Therefore, short-term diarrhea is better not to be treated with drugs, but by natural means. This “alkaline” vegetable soup is a balm for the mucous membrane of the intestines. Finely chop 2 potatoes and 1 carrot, and boil for 20 minutes in a quarter of a liter of water. When boiled, mash them roughly, and add a little natural salt (do not add pepper!). Potatoes and carrots contain pectins, which pull out the food residues in the bowels.
4. Vomiting
To help protect the stomach in its recovery, here are some of the best Transylvanian Saxon remedies. Peppermint tea or oat porridge (boil 20 g of oat flakes in water). Peppermint tea is a buffer for excess gastric acid, while oat porridge is very soothing for the digestive tract and supplies the body with energy, without burdening digestion.
5. Hangover
A hangover is the result of alcohol poisoning the cellular membrane, and chronic dehydration. Saxon women knew how to wake up their husbands with a hearty breakfast after a night of heavy drinking. They served their husbands in the morning marinated mackerels, sour cabbage juice, or milk whey. Magnesium in fermented foods stabilizes the cell membrane and helps the body get back sober.
