10 Natural Home Remedies To Treat Abdominal Pain

8. Apple Cider Vinegar

Organic, unfiltered and raw apple cider vinegar contains “mother” strains of proteins, healthy bacteria, and enzymes that may help reduce abdominal pain. Apple cider vinegar is also high in antioxidants to help flush toxins and chemicals from the body. It has been shown to kill germs and harmful bacteria that may be lingering in the gut. Be sure to look for a brand of apple cider vinegar that is organic and unfiltered, meaning it has not been heated to high temperatures and most of its nutrients are still intact.

7. Heating Pad

When pain strikes in the middle of the night, try placing a heating pad directly on the abdomen. Make sure to turn the setting to low and do not leave it on for more than twenty minutes if possible. Heating pads are comforting and may help relax abdominal muscles to reduce pain. Avoid falling asleep on the heating pad as it has been reported to cause muscle stiffness in the back and other areas of the body upon waking up.
