Bloating is very common in individuals who eat a lot, but especially for those who eat almost always the same things. People who are stressed also experience unpleasant bloating. There are solutions to soothe these intestinal problems. Natural remedies are the most requested, for fear of having new health problems (stomach, kidney, etc.) other people choose it by preference. Indeed, natural remedies are less expensive and easy to find.
What are the natural herbal remedies for bloating?
Among the natural remedies for bloating, carminative herbs can be effective. Cumin, fennel and coriander have the ability to reduce flatulence in the intestine by absorbing gas. They are consumed in the form of seeds or in infusion. For the seeds, consume 5 to 6 grams per day (to be taken 3 times); for the infusion, a teaspoon of seeds in a small teapot of boiling water for 10 minutes is necessary.
Lemon balm also helps to relax the intestine. Peppermint and thyme are also part of it. These plants are used in herbal tea. To do this, you must place it in a bowl, a pinch of each plant and simmering water. Wait 10 minutes before drinking it. Ideally, you should take two bowls a day (other than meal times).
Remedies based on essential plant oils to counter bloating
Natural essential oils are necessary for digestion. Indeed, the process of indigestion favors the formation of gas responsible for painful intestinal contractions. We distinguish the essential oil of tarragon, the essential oil of basil and the essential oil of camomile to reduce the digestive spasms and bloating. They act quickly (after 10 minutes).
These oils are applied directly around the navel by massaging with the hands. Only 2 to 3 drops are needed for a passage of about 1 minute. These natural remedies against bloating are to be applied 2 to 3 times a day if they persist, until they disappear completely.
Bloating: the use of vegetable charcoal to counter gas
Vegetable charcoal has a porous structure. They absorb gas in the intestine in a simple way. They are then evacuated by natural means. This charcoal can reduce even odorous gases. A single capsule of vegetable charcoal can be enough to soothe intestinal pain. If the bloating is severe, you can take two capsules. Do not hesitate to see a doctor if the bloating persists.
