Homemade Remedies for Better Health
Here are some simple recipes to help relieve intestinal gas:
Remedy popular # 1: Consume fresh papaya and pineapple, which contain enzymes that help digestion and prevent gas.
Remedy popular # 2: Remove the gas from beans by adding a teaspoon of ginger powder to cold water and soaking the dry beans. Then boil the beans and let them rest for an hour. Finally, rinse the beans and cook them with fresh water.
Remedy popular # 3: At each meal, drink diluted lemon juice. Alternatively, drink a mixture of two teaspoons of apple cider vinegar and two teaspoons of honey in a glass of water.
Remedy popular # 4: Swallow two mustard seeds with a glass of water before breakfast and then gradually increase the amount of seeds, up to 12 per day. When flatulence is under control, the number of seeds can be reduced gradually until you take one or two a day.
Remedy popular # 5: To alleviate an attack of pain caused by gas, cover the abdomen with hot water bottle. You can also apply a towel soaked in a mixture of brandy and hot water with a pinch of salt or cover the abdomen with a poultice of oatmeal, which has been boiled in vinegar over a low heat.
Remedy popular # 6: Take herbal teas such as cardamom, chamomile, cinnamon, or cloves to stimulate digestion. These herbal teas also reduce the bacteria that cause flatulence and improve intestinal mobility.
