Home Remedies to Relieve Stomach Gas

Stomach gas can be a very uncomfortable experience. It can make you feel bloated, or cause painful cramps. Luckily, there are some home remedies to relieve stomach gas that have been proven to be effective in alleviating discomfort.

  1. Rocking Chair

    • Rocking in a rocking chair can help relieve the buildup of stomach gas. This works by stimulating the muscles of the abs and stomach, making it easier for the gas to be passed. Place your feet on the floor and work your leg muscles to rock yourself if you are experiencing bouts of gas.

    Herbal Teas

    • There are various herbs that can be added to tea to relieve stomach gas. The most common include peppermint and spearmint. They work somewhat quickly to help settle your stomach, reducing your discomfort.

    Eat Slowly

    • Chew thoroughly and take small bites to avoid creating excessive gas in the stomach. Gulping down your food will increase the amount of air you take in while eating, which is what causes the gas to build up.

    Avoid Carbonated Drinks

    • Soft drinks and other beverages containing carbonation can promote stomach gas. It is a good idea to refrain from consuming these if you are experiencing uncomfortable gas buildup.
