Ease a stomachache with a squeeze

Grilled hot dogs, corn on the cob smothered in butter, ice cream sundaes...a lot of summertime treats can make your stomach hurt. For fast relief, take a minute to firmly massage the arches of both feet using small, circular motions and applying as much pressure as you comfortably can. Chinese scientists say this simple trick stimulates the SP4 acupressure point, a cluster of nerves that relaxes spasming GI tract muscles and speeds stomach emptying.

OR TURN YOUR FACE TO THE SUN

Your skin responds to even brief sun exposure by releasing powerful natural painkillers that quickly soothe an upset stomach, a Canadian study suggests. And the digestion-boosting vitamin D your skin makes when exposed to UV light can prevent future flareups if you spend a few minutes outdoors daily.

Listening to music fights hot flashes!
