Ginger

It’s been used in Indian medicine to treat abdominal pain and aid digestion. More recent studies have suggested that ginger helps reduce motion sickness and morning sickness during pregnancy. It may also relieve gas. In addition, a study published in Phytotherapy Research found that a combination of ginger powder and honey given daily helped women with moderate or severe nausea to feel better.

Peppermint

Peppermint can aid with flatulence in addition to its many other uses. This remedy is beneficial when you suffer from heartburn or indigestion; the two often go hand in hand. In addition, using peppermint can help neutralize acid reflux and prevent your stomach from churning, and when that happens, there’s nothing better than a mint!

A spoonful of sugar

Before going to bed at night, drink a cup of warm milk or chamomile tea. Adding sugar to your hot beverage helps relieve gas pressure and helps ease bloating. If you’re not a fan of sugar, try adding honey instead. Many people find that these natural sweeteners can aid digestion and reduce overall gas buildup, making for a more leisurely night’s sleep!

Green tea

Another great technique to release trapped gases is to drink a cup of hot green tea. Antioxidants in green tea also help boost metabolism, which can help with weight loss. Start your day off with a cup of organic and fair trade green tea, or brew up a pot when you need an energy boost later in the day.

Avoid eating just before going to bed.

The best way to avoid gas buildup is to avoid eating foods that cause gas just before bed. Generally, it’s a good idea not to consume carbonated drinks or fatty foods at night, but these are especially problematic during pregnancy. Instead, try drinking some warm milk or chamomile tea with honey before bed. For some women, even certain fruits can cause stomach issues at night.

Eat slowly

Often, our body needs more time to register fullness, so when we eat quickly, our body may not have had enough time to note that it is complete. If you eat slowly, your brain will have time to catch up and tell you that you are full before you’ve overeaten. Chew 20 times per bite instead of 10; sitting at a table will also force you to be slow and deliberate about what you’re eating.

Cumin seeds

Cumin seeds contain compounds that relieve stomach upset and discomfort. For example, soaking about two tablespoons of cumin seeds in hot water for about 20 minutes and then drinking it daily can provide relief from gas. These seeds are also known to help with digestion and reduce gas production. Cumin seeds are pretty easy to find at local health stores or online.

Probiotics

Eating probiotic foods may help relieve gas, as these naturally occurring live bacteria have a mild laxative effect. While most people associate yoghurt with probiotics, many other options are available, including kefir, sauerkraut, and kimchi. If you’re craving something sweet, try adding a bit of sugar-free jam to your yoghurt; its bacteria will thrive in your gut, reducing gas-causing lactose levels.
