Treatment with caraway seeds
One of the most common remedies for flatulence is caraway, which helps to bind the air in the intestinal tract. Caraway has been used in medicine and especially in natural medicine for decades. The air-binding effect of caraway is attributed to its essential oils, which are an integral part of caraway.
They develop their full effect when they pass through the gastrointestinal tract. In addition to the essential oils, the antiflatulent effect is also attributed to flavonoids, tannins, resins, fatty oils and protein, which are also found in caraway. The effect starts relatively quickly, sometimes after 10-30 minutes, the duration of the effect is medium long and may make it necessary to repeat the intake of the preparation once or twice a day.
Apart from its air-binding effect, caraway also has a moderate antispasmodic and analgesic effect, which is also attributed to the additives contained in caraway. Numerous combinations are also used to reduce flatulence. Very often a combination of caraway, fennel, peppermint and camomile flowers is recommended.
In the form of a tea, the so-called four winds tea is also recommended. The herbs should be left in the cup for about 5-10 minutes and then poured off. The tea should be drunk 3-4 times a day, but must be prepared again and again so as not to reduce the effectiveness of the herbs.
Treatment with bitter herbs
The use of some bittering agents is also recommended for flatulence. For example, taking the Swedish bitters herbal mixture can be helpful for the symptoms. The recipe for the herbal mixture is old and was handed down by Maria Treben.
The mixture consists of the herbs aloe, myrrh, saffron, senna leaves, camphor, rhubarb root, lemon root, manna cannelata, theriac venetian, boar root and angelica root. If you want to make your own dark chocolate, you should prepare the herbal mixture in grain or fruit schnapps and leave it there for about 10 days. Strong shaking should be done daily.
After a few days a clear layer will settle, which should be drained. The remaining cloudy liquid is then mixed again with brandy and the same procedure is repeated. The Swedish bitters can then be taken in drops or in small sips several times a day.
Treatment with salts
A further antiflatulent effect is attributed to the salts. The exact effect of Schuessler salts has not been scientifically proven until today, but the often successful effect is reported by numerous patients with different complaints. The basis of the effect is the assumption that any illness of the human body as well as its symptoms are caused by an imbalance of the mineral balance.
Dr., the inventor of the method, tries to produce most of the minerals not found in the daily diet in the form of tablets or globules and to dilute (potentiate) them many times. Similar to classical homeopathy, it is assumed that the more salts are diluted, the better they work. In case of digestive problems associated with flatulence, the preparations Ferrum Phosphoricum, Magnesium Phosphoricum and Silicea should be taken for this reason.
The quantity of tablets is 2-3 tablets at three times a day. After the symptoms have subsided, the tablets can be discontinued. If the flatulence is still present, the therapy should be continued for the time being.
In contrast to conventional medicine, no side effects or risks are reported when taking salts. There is also no known incompatibility with other, additionally taken drugs. However, there are no exact comprehensive scientific studies on this subject. Besides the flatulence reducing effect, Schuessler salts are also said to have a pain and cramp-relieving effect. – Flatulence
