can Mint prevent stomach ache ?


Mint can help get rid of nausua, motionsickness!
I think mint calms the stomach, and so does ginger, and black licorice.

My favorite natural mint tea is actually made by a brand that you can probably find in most grocery stores that carry a lot of teas.

It’s by Traditional Medicinal, a brand that has branched out beyond it’s typical natural foods store markets.

It’s organically grown and the only ingredient in it is all natural mint leaves, which is ideal to help soothe an upset or sour stomach and help aid the digestion process.

Mint also is a green leaf food, which means it contains chlorophyll, another excellent nutrient that helps feed and nourish the body’s cells, although since it is a tea and it’s heated the effects of the chlorophyll may be diminished.

Food poisoning


food poisoning is caused by consuming food contaminated with pathogenic bacteria, toxins, viruses, prions or parasites.

Such contamination usually arises from improper handling, preparation or storage of food.

Food borne illness can also be caused by adding pesticides or medicines to food, or consuming or by accidentally consuming naturally poisonous substances like poisonous mushrooms or reef fish.

Contact between food and pests, especially flies, rodents and cockroaches, is a further cause of contamination of food.

Digestive and Liver Disorders in Children

Digestive disorders affecting infants and children range from simple problems that most children experience from time to time, such as vomiting or diarrhea, to more serious (and possibly life-threatening) birth defects such as tracheoesophageal fistula, or illnesses such as appendicitis.
Digestive and liver disorders can have significant effects on the health of a child.

A healthy digestive system processes the foods and liquids that we eat, replenishing vitamins, minerals, proteins, carbohydrates and fats that are vital for the body to function properly.

Occasional vomiting or diarrhea may lead to dehydration, however, long-term problems with the digestive system and/or liver can deplete these important nutrients, causing malnutrition that affects a child's physical and mental growth and development.

Some digestive disorders, such as vomiting or diarrhea, may be effectively treated by your child's physician. Other times, your child's physician may refer you to a physician who specializes in children's digestive and liver disorders. This specialist is known as a Pediatric Gastroenterologist.

This web provides an overview of the digestive system and liver, how they work, and problems that can occur in these body systems.
