also aids digestion.
However, if you should get a griping pain in your stomach, a cup of hot herbal tea – ideally a mixture of fennel, aniseed and caraway – seldom fails to have a soothing effect. It is also a good idea to wrap a hot water bottle in a cotton cloth and place it on your stomach. Another alternative is a stomach massage with slow, gentle and deliberate movements in a circular clockwise motion. This kind of massage is particularly soothing when Melissenöl (lemon balm oil)* or Dr.Hauschka Lavender Body Oil is used.
