Home Remedies With Honey for Gas

Honey is a natural substance enjoyed around the world for its sweet taste and health benefits. Honey is easily digested by the human body, making it a key ingredient in many home recipes for gas relief and prevention.

Honey as a Sweetener

• Excess fructose, a form of sugar used as a sweetener, can cause gas, bloating and diarrhea, according to the Health 911 website. Honey contains levulose and dextrose, which are easier to digest, the Health Benefits of Honey website explains. Using honey instead of granulated sugar or other sweeteners may help reduce gas.

Honey and Ginger

• Digesting a mix of honey and ginger actually promotes flatulence, which relieves stomach pain due to gas. Juicing-for-Health.com recommends boiling a piece of pounded fresh ginger in a cup of water and adding honey to taste. The website suggests drinking the mixture twice daily to help release gas from the intestinal tract.

Honey and Cinnamon

• Sprinkling cinnamon powder on 2 tbsp. of honey and eating it before heavy meals can prevent indigestion, upset stomach and gas, according to the Natural Holistic Health website.

Honey and Dill Oil

• The Home Remedies website recommends mixing 1 tbsp. of honey with a drop of dill oil and taking it immediately after a meal to prevent gas.
