The vernacular speaks of farts, doctors of winds. Either way - bloating is embarrassing or even painful. Good that with cumin there is a proven and proven effective remedy from grandma's medicine cabinet .

Caraway seeds contain six percent of essential oils, including carvone and limes, as well as greasy oil and tannins. These ingredients have an antibacterial effect in the intestine . They soothe an irritated and nervous stomach so that the food is better digested. Cumin also supports the liver and biliary function and eliminates an unpleasant feeling of fullness after eating . In case of problems it helps to draw a teaspoon of caraway seeds in a cup of hot water for five to eight minutes and to drink three times a day. Important: Crush the seeds in the mortar first, so that the oils can be better absorbed by the water. If you do not like it, you can mix caraway, fennel and anise seeds in equal parts and make a magenta tea out of it.

If flatulence and constipation always come after eating, food intolerance could be behind it.
