We’ve all had those days where a heavy meal leaves us feeling bloated, gassy, or uncomfortable. But when this discomfort becomes frequent, it goes beyond “occasional gas” and becomes chronic indigestion (also called dyspepsia).
Chronic indigestion isn’t just about a bad food day it may last for weeks or months, leaving you heavy, sluggish, or uneasy after meals. For many people, it shows up as bloating, sour belching, fullness after eating, or simply the sense that food is “just sitting there.”
The good news? Homeopathy offers a gentle, natural way to help digestion work better in the long run. Instead of masking symptoms, it looks at your unique pattern how your body reacts, when symptoms worsen, and what brings relief. This way, treatment is matched to you as a whole person, not just your stomach.
