Gas

Gases: causes, symptoms and treatments

Gases in the stomach and intestines are a natural process that is necessary to digest food and move it through the digestive system. However, too much gas accumulation can cause unpleasant symptoms such as abdominal pain, shortness of breath, palpitations and headache.

The causes of gas may vary. One of the most common causes is overeating or poor nutrition, when a person eats food that his stomach cannot digest. Gases can also appear due to diseases of internal organs or the formation of intestinal bacteria.

There are several ways to treat gas. Simple traditional medicine recipes can help cope with this problem.

1. Anise seeds and honey. Boil a dessert spoon of anise seeds and a dessert spoon of real honey in a glass of water and drink this water several times a day, 1-2 tablespoons.

2. Wormwood powder. Add wormwood powder to your food every day - morning, afternoon and evening.

3. A decoction of wormwood and honey. Drink a tablespoon of decoction of wormwood and honey in the morning, taking a teaspoon of honey and a spoonful of wormwood powder per glass of boiling water (you can take dry wormwood leaves if powder is not available).

4. Plantain infusion. Drink a teaspoon of plantain infusion in the morning.

If gases cause constant shortness of breath, drinking an infusion of violet leaves - two cups a day - will help.

If gases appear suddenly and cause colic and pain, then a large enema of 5-6 glasses of water with the addition of chamomile infusion, if available, will help. After the enema, lie on your stomach and place a hot water bottle on your stomach. If you have dill seeds, boil a teaspoon of them in a glass of water and drink it very hot.

If your stomach stools become foul-smelling, drink 2-3 glasses of warm, weak eucalyptus tea (infusion of eucalyptus leaves) on an empty stomach to disinfect your stomach. After 3-4 days, repeat or take charcoal 2 tablets before meals.

People who often suffer from gas should give enemas more often after meals, and also take magnesium on the tip of a knife. Radishes, cabbage and eggs should not be consumed raw.

Gas often occurs in people who lead a sedentary lifestyle, so it is important to do more movements, especially those requiring repeated bending of the torso. It is very good to drink mint infusion to reduce gas.

It is important to understand that if gases begin to appear frequently and cause severe pain, then you need to consult a doctor. In some cases, gas can be a sign of a serious medical condition, such as irritable bowel syndrome, stomach ulcers, or gastritis.

Overall, to avoid gas problems, it is important to watch your diet, eat foods that you tolerate well, and lead an active lifestyle. If the problem with gases persists, it is better to consult a doctor to rule out the possibility of serious illnesses and prescribe the correct treatment.
