Natural and Homeopathic Solutions for Overindulgence and Digestive Issues

I can’t wait for the end of this week to celebrate Turkey Day! We have family coming from out-of-town and we are already doing meal prep for the big feast. The turkey is in the brine and I need to bake the pumpkin.

Thanksgiving is a time for gratitude, family, and delicious food—but it can also lead to overindulgence and digestive woes. Fortunately, there are natural and homeopathic remedies to help you and your loved ones feel your best. Here’s a quick guide to addressing common post-feast ailments naturally.

If you are traveling, keep a small homeopathic kit on hand to address any unexpected issues during the holiday season! https://amzn.to/4eJJg9G I bring my bag of books and homeopathy if I am traveling by car and bare minimum if traveling via an airplane.

I have included links for easy ordering from Amazon if desired.

1. Overeating and Indigestion

o Sip peppermint tea or chew on fennel seeds to soothe digestion. Peppermint tea: https://amzn.to/3Va1F8E or Fennel seeds https://amzn.to/3ZnXhVX

o A gentle walk after the meal can promote digestion and reduce bloating.

2. Constipation

The change in diet and heavy foods can disrupt your digestive regularity.

 Natural Tips:

o Drink plenty of water and eat fiber-rich foods like fruits and vegetables, especially legumes like beans.

o Add a tablespoon of chia seeds or flaxseeds to a smoothie for a gentle fiber boost.

o Take a teaspoon of coconut oil or MCT (Medium-Chain Triglyceride) oil. It is a type of fat derived from sources like coconut oil or palm kernel oil. Unlike long-chain triglycerides found in most dietary fats, MCTs are metabolized more quickly and can provide a quick source of energy. It acts as a natural lubricant in the digestive tract, which can ease stool passage. MCT oil can promote bile production, which helps move food through the digestive system. MCTs may support the growth of healthy gut bacteria, improving overall digestion. https://amzn.to/413QFgM
