5 Ways To Treat Burping At Home

Burping, also known as belching or eructation, is one of the ways your body expels excessive gas from your stomach. It is often accompanied with a typical sound and, at times, an odor. The gas in your stomach may also cause abdominal pain and cramps that vary in severity and duration.

There are two main causes of burping – swallowing excess air while eating or poor digestion of food that results in an overproduction of gas in the digestive system.

Ginger

- Put 1 tablespoon of thin ginger slices in a cup of hot water. Cover and let it steep for about 10 minutes. Strain, add a little honey and lemon juice, and drink it 2 or 3 times a day.
- Alternatively, you can take a ginger supplement. Consult your doctor for the correct dosage.

Peppermint

- Put 1 teaspoon of dried peppermint leaves in a cup of hot water.
- Let it steep for 10 minutes, then strain it.
- Drink this tea 2 or 3 times a day.

Note: People who have a history of gallstones must not use this herb.

Chamomile

- Put 1 chamomile teabag in a cup and pour 1 cup of boiled water over it.
- Let it steep for 5 to 10 minutes.
- Remove the teabag and sip your chamomile tea.
- Drink this tea 2 or 3 times a day.

Cardamom

- Chew a few whole pods of cardamom 2 or 3 times a day to relieve stomach gas.
- Also, add 1 teaspoon of crushed cardamom pods to 1 cup of boiling water. Let it simmer for 5 to 10 minutes. Strain, add some honey and drink it after eating a meal.

Fennel

- Chew ½ to 1 teaspoon of dry-roasted fennel seeds after eating a meal to reduce belching and expel gas through your intestinal tract.
- Also, add 1 teaspoon of crushed fennel seeds to 1 cup of hot water. Let it steep for 10 minutes, then strain it. Drink this tea twice daily.
