If you struggle with acidity, ulcer-like burning, gas, bloating, or poor digestion, don’t worry — your stomach can heal. This post shares gentle natural remedies, foods to eat, what to avoid, and daily routines to help your stomach repair itself.
Understanding Stomach Damage
When the stomach lining becomes irritated or inflamed (gastritis), digestion becomes painful. Triggers include spicy food, excessive acidity, fast eating, stress, alcohol, smoking, strong medications and infections.
Common Signs Your Stomach Needs Healing
- Burning sensation or sharp pain after eating
- Acid reflux or sour taste
- Bloating and gas
- Nausea or poor appetite
- Constipation or loose stools
Top Home Remedies That Help Heal the Stomach Lining
1. Warm Water Morning Routine
Warm water improves digestion and reduces acidity. Drink a glass first thing in the morning.
2. Bananas
Bananas act as a natural antacid and soothe the lining. Eat one ripe banana daily.
3. Aloe Vera Juice
Drink 2–3 tablespoons of food-grade aloe juice on an empty stomach. It reduces irritation and helps healing.
4. Ginger Tea
Boil fresh ginger slices in water and sip before meals to reduce nausea and gas.
5. Buttermilk with Ajwain
Mix 1 cup buttermilk with roasted carom seed powder. Helps with gas and acidity.
6. Honey + Turmeric
Mix 1 tsp honey with ½ tsp turmeric once daily for healing and inflammation control.
