Why take medicine for bloating and digestive problems, when spices can do the trick!
Did you know…?
Ginger, peppermint, cinnamon and cilantro may do more than add flavor to your food. These are just some of the natural remedies for gas relief, and chances are they’re already in your kitchen.
Ginger was the subject of a study published in the European Journal of Gastroenterology & Hepatology in 2008. It found that ginger helps speed digestion, which is important because if your stomach empties faster, gases can move more quickly into your small intestine to relieve discomfort and bloating.
Cinnamon is known to have anti-inflammatory effects, and is now an ingredient that can be found in modern medicine. Traditionally, cinnamon is used for a number of ailments, among them is stomach bloating.To prevent a bloated stomach, mix some ground cinnamon in water, add some honey to taste, and drink this mixture. If you do this this every morning, you will relax your digestive tract.
Peppermint relaxes the muscles that allow painful digestive gas to pass.
