Google "Ayurveda"

ETA - I will give you examples. Ginger and peppermint steeped in hot water and drunk like tea make for the best (and immediate) aid for heartburn and nausea. Chamomile and lavender tea will knock me asleep before I can count backwards from 100. For years, I took Pepcid for digestion and Ambien for sleep. Neither worked as well as their natural alternatives, and I don't have to worry about the artificial pharma additives and dyes (I have a dye allergy).
