Nanu is the best person who has some wonderful home remedies for stomach upset. Very recently I suffered from food poisoning when Nanu came to my rescue. The first thing which she made me was Banana smoothie. I never knew that this smoothie could help my stomach so much. Later on Nanu told me that Banana is having the quality to soothe the upset stomach. It is also having the qualities to counteract the acid which causes the upset stomach. So she advised me to make a habit to eat a banana daily. It is also easily digestible and also eases in case of diarrhea.
I have seen Mamma having Ginger tea regularly. Upon asking her she told me ginger is also having the qualities to treat upset stomach. She said people can drink strong ginger tea or you may chew a piece of candied ginger to get relief from nausea. In China over 2000 years people are using ginger as a natural treatment for upset stomach.
Another very effective remedy is that of coconut water. It works wonders for healing stomach upset. It calms the stomach and provides vitamins and minerals. Nanu gets very upset with me if I play video games in the computer for than 1 hour at a stretch. She told me that too much eye strain can cause you to be nauseous. Take a break from the computer, walk around and get some fresh air. It is very important to take breaks for people who continuously work in computers as that way the mind remains calm and composed.

Warm bath, listen to calming and soothing music can be wonderful options to relax. Keeping yourself hydrated and make it a habit to intake plenty of water as well as liquid items.
