Minor stomach cramps can erupt from a variety of causes—something you ate, how you ate it (too fast, usually), a punch, an elbow poke, premenstrual tension. Sometimes it’s hard to tell. Here’s a remedy to help soothe minor cramps no matter where they came from: Steep one teaspoon of fresh coarsely chopped or dried parsley in one cup of hot water. After five minutes, strain out the leaves and then slowly drink the parsley tea. Note: Parsley tea can act as a diuretic, so make sure you plan accordingly, just in case you have to “drink and run.” Caution: If your stomachache is severe, contact a physician immediately.
