Carminative Digestive Remedies

Natural herbs with carminative properties help prevent formation of gas in the gastrointestinal tract or facilitate the expulsion of said gas. Home remedies can be used to relieve flatulence, bloating and other symptoms of digestive problems.

Fennel Remedy

• Fennel is a home remedy that helps reduce flatulence and can help with upset stomach. Infuse one cup of hot water with five grams of dry fennel fruits. Allow the tea to cool and strain the fennel. Drink two cups of this infusion remedy a day, preferably before meals.

Anise Infusion

• Anise is a natural herb used for bloating and has carminative properties. Infuse a hot cup of water with a teaspoon of dry anise fruits. Drink two cups a day of this herbal infusion to relieve stomach pain and flatulence.

Mixed Infusion

• Fennel, cumin, coriander and anise can be used as separate drinking remedies to reduce gases and swelling in your stomach. Each of these herbs has carminative properties, but they can be mixed together as a natural remedy.

  Mix equal parts of these four dried herbs and store in a container with a tight lid. The dry mixture can be stored in a cool, dry place and used whenever you have a stomach problem. Infuse a teaspoon of the herb mixture with a cup of water, and then drink as a digestive remedy.
