Excess gas in the stomach can cause discomfort, bloating, burping, and even mild pain. While many rely on medicines, there are simple home remedies that can help relieve gas naturally. One such method involves applying a natural substance near your navel for quick relief.
Why the Navel Area?
The navel, or belly button, is connected to nerve pathways and acupressure points that affect digestion. Applying certain remedies here can help stimulate digestion, relieve bloating, and ease gas.
What to Apply
· The doctor often recommends using ginger or herbal oils, or mustard oil mixed with a pinch of turmeric, applied externally near the navel.
· These natural substances:
o Warm the area, helping smooth muscle relaxation in the digestive tract.
o Reduce trapped gas and bloating.
o Improve blood circulation around the stomach area.
How to Apply
1. Take 1–2 teaspoons of warm oil (like mustard oil, sesame oil, or herbal digestive oil).
2. Add a tiny pinch of turmeric or ginger paste if desired.
3. Gently massage in a circular motion around the navel for 3–5 minutes.
4. Cover the area with a warm cloth for 10–15 minutes to enhance effect.
5. Repeat once or twice a day if necessary.
Additional Tips
· Avoid heavy, oily, or processed foods that trigger gas.
· Drink warm water or herbal teas like ginger or fennel tea.
· Regular mild exercise like walking helps digestion.
· If gas persists along with severe pain or vomiting, consult a doctor immediately.
Bottom Line:
Applying warm oil with natural herbs near the navel is a safe, simple, and effective home remedy for relieving stomach gas. Combined with dietary care, it can greatly reduce bloating and discomfort.
