Upset stomach or indigestion is extremely common nowadays. People suffer from stomach infection due to different causative factors. Stomach ache that happens because of such infections causes a lot of discomfort. Abdominal pain that is one of the major causes of stomach ache may be due to more common causes like gas, indigestion and diarrhoea. Infectious illnesses like flu may also lead to abdominal pain.

Here are some of the home remedies that can help you deal with it:

1. Ginger: From pain to nausea, ginger is considered to be an effective cure for all. Studies have shown that ginger can be a very effective treatment for some types of stomach problems.
