FRUIT THERAPY

The use of fruits in general is beneficial in the treatment of indigestion. They flush out undigested food residue and accumulated faeces and re-establish health. Being rich in water, they clean body mechanisms thoroughly. The best fruit for treating indigestion is the lemon. Its juice reaches the stomach and attacks the bacteria, inhibiting the formation of acids. Lemon juice removes indigestion by disloding this acid and other harmful substances from the stomach, thereby strengthening and promoting healthy appetite.
The orange is another effective remedy for chronic indigestion. It supplies nutrition in a most easily assimilable form. It also stimulates the flow of digestive juices, thereby improving digestion and increasing appetite. It creates suitable conditions for the development of friendly bacteria in the intestines.
Grapefruit (chakotra) is also useful for indigestion. It is a light food which acts immediately on indigestion and relieves heat and stomach irritation. Pineapple is also valuable. It acts as a tonic for indigestion and relieves digestive disorders.
