Stomachic
A stomachic is an herbal remedy or medication used to stimulate digestive activity. It is often used to treat digestive and gastrointestinal disorders, such as bloating, indigestion and heartburn. These remedies are typically herbal, and can include ingredients such as ginger, peppermint, and other digestive herbs. Some of these herbs contain compounds that act as stimulants to the stomach and intestines, promoting the production of digestive juices and aiding in digestion. This can help to reduce the symptoms of gastrointestinal distress, as well as aid in overall digestive health. Stomachics can also be used to improve the absorption of nutrients in the digestive tract, and some may even have anti-inflammatory properties.
