Natural Remedies For Farting
Let’s just be honest. Everyone has gas issues. Some more than others,
that’s true, but none of us are immune to the “vapors” as ladies of the
past so elegantly put it.
We all know the awkwardness of experiencing gas at the wrong place at
the wrong time. Gas can be obviously embarrassing, but it can also be
painful in some cases. In fact, what many people assume is indigestion
is sometimes gas trapped high up in the digestive system. This type of
gas is extremely painful and can even be alarming at times as it
manifests itself as sharp chest pains. No one takes sharp chest pains
lightly.
Emergency room workers will tell you they have dealt with their share
of frightened patients who thought they were having a heart attack,
only to find out later they just needed to burp, or you know the other
alternative. But the point is, gas is an issue with few remedies that
are openly discussed.
Though you will not likely find this use plastered to the side of
most bottles of essential oils, there are a few herbs out there that can
help with this delicate problem.
Peppermint
Peppermint has so many wonderful uses; it is no wonder that you can
add gas reduction to the list. Peppermint can have a very soothing
effect on the digestive system in a myriad of ways. Excessive gas can be
almost immediately relived by sipping peppermint tea. The added bonus
is that sipping tea looks so refined, no one would ever suspect your
real reason.
Garlic
Garlic is another herb used for a variety of ailments. For reducing
excessive gas try using an infusion of garlic mixed in warm milk. The
added bonus, warm milk often has sedative effects and can be great way
to relax in the evening.
Sassafras
This herb has been used for centuries for all types of stomach
troubles. It helps with indigestion, loose stool, nausea, and excessive
gas. Gas is often just a normal result of our digestive processes. If
you have had a large meal, well, you can guess the possible results.
Sassafras can be used in a delightful after dinner tea. Simply bring 8
ounces of water to a boil then add equal parts of Fennel seed,
lemongrass, sliced ginger root and a bit of cardamom.
Watch What Your Eat
Another helpful tip is to be careful of what you eat. Certain foods
such as broccoli, cauliflower, beans, lentils and oats are big
offenders. If you are going to be in a situation in which you really do
not want to deal with excessive gas, avoiding these types of foods could
make it easier for you. If gas continues to be such a problem that it
becomes invasive into your life or if gas is becoming increasingly
painful there may be a more serious problem in your tummy. It is always a
good idea to consult your doctor. Even though it is an embarrassing
condition, it’s always better to be safe than sorry.
