Homeopathic Remedies for Stomach Problems

The stomach is an organ located between the small intestine and esophagus. The stomach is responsible for storing swallowed food, mixing the food with stomach acids, and sending that mixture on to the small intestine. Common problems with the stomach include heartburn, peptic ulcers, gastro esophageal reflux disease and indigestion. While you can relieve these conditions with lifestyle changes and over-the-counter medication, homeopathic remedies can be an effective treatment as well. It's important to consult a medical professional before beginning any homeopathic remedy.
