The bloated belly is a very common annoying symptom among men and women, often caused by excessive food consumption and more generally by a poor diet, or by air ingestion, or by other causes such as constipation, the use of certain medications, or reflux. It can often also be due to an accumulation of stress and therefore toxins, or a digestive system disorder, such as food intolerances, causing bloating, bloating, flatulence, belching, constipation or diarrhea, abdominal cramps.
In the following paragraphs, we want to show you how it is possible to counteract abdominal bloating through the use of herbs, herbal teas, and infusions to deflate the belly. Indeed, there are many plants and herbs with deflating properties, easy to find and prepare as a herbal tea or infusion, which humans have been using for thousands of years, as we will see.
Chinese medicine, for example, indicates that the true causes of abdominal tension are the malfunction of the spleen or liver, two organs responsible for the final phase of digestion with the task of metabolizing food, but also emotions such as anger and nervousness.
According to this ancient discipline, emotions also need to be "digested" correctly just like food.
Among the remedies to deflate the belly and counteract abdominal bloating, there is certainly first and foremost a healthier lifestyle and a proper diet, maintaining a good daily level of hydration (2 liters of water per day) and fiber intake, eating slowly and in moderation paying attention to food combinations, losing weight if necessary, doing yoga to release muscle and emotional tension.
Together with these basic measures, there are natural remedies against belly bloating to be taken when the annoying problem arises. We are talking about very effective herbs and herbal teas to deflate the belly. Here are some.
We can only start this long list of herbs and infusions against bloated belly with a herbal tea born right here at Terza Luna, in which we have used all the herbs capable of deflating the belly more effectively. Our digestive herbal tea, a complete infusion that helps to eliminate intestinal gas and alleviate stomach problems caused by poor digestion and slow metabolism. Inside, we find:
The fennel plant is known since ancient times for its digestive, purifying, carminative, stomachic, spasmolytic, and anti-inflammatory properties. It promotes the proper functioning of the entire gastrointestinal system, preventing the formation of intestinal gas and the occurrence of abdominal contractions.
Preparing an infusion against bloated belly based on fennel seeds is a real panacea, as well as being simple and practical. Just bring the water to a boil and let the fennel seeds infuse for 10 minutes.
Another ally in the battle against bloated belly is a plant related to fennel. We are talking about anise. Thanks to anethole, the active ingredient of the plant, anise has digestive, antispasmodic, and carminative properties that counteract abdominal bloating, inhibit intestinal fermentation and flatulence, relax the intestinal musculature. It is particularly indicated in case of bloating, flatulence, belching, and irritable bowel.
Just like fennel, you can also prepare delicious and super efficient belly-flattening herbal teas with anise seeds. Bring water to a boil and let the green anise seeds infuse for 10 minutes. This way we will obtain our anise herbal tea!
Another ingredient of our digestive herbal tea that can also be used alone to prepare a belly-flattening infusion is peppermint. Among the various properties of mint, we also find those that are muscle-relaxing, carminative, decongestant, analgesic. It reduces intestinal gas, alleviates pain caused by cramps, relaxes the gallbladder improving liver activity, thus combating flatulence, dyspepsia, bloating, and diarrhea in addition to a pleasant refreshing sensation of the entire digestive system.
As mentioned, it is easy to prepare a peppermint herbal tea capable of combating the discomfort we are facing. You will need to get some peppermint tea cut - ours is organic and delicious - and infuse 3 grams in a cup of boiling water for 8 minutes.
Like the herbs just mentioned, linden also has calming, anti-inflammatory, antispasmodic, and decongestant properties, so it is beneficial for the entire digestive system, especially in cases of irritable bowel and stomach acidity.
We can easily prepare the belly-flattening linden-based herbal tea at home. You will need to get some linden tea cut, preferably ORGANIC like the one sold in our online herbal tea shop, and let it infuse for 8 minutes in boiling water.
These herbs can therefore be used individually, but the combination and interaction between these plants result in a complete and effective herbal tea: the Terza Luna digestive herbal tea. The individual ingredients can also be used fresh as in the case of mint and fennel, in seeds like anise or fennel, or in leaf infusion like mint and linden.
