Home remedies to get rid of gas pain faster

Gas is a normal byproduct of your digestive function. In fact, you will not be pleased to know, most people pass gas 14 times a day. But in some cases, too much gas can cause trouble, especially when you are unable to pass it.

Too much gas can build up in your intestines and you may experience bloating and get stomach cramps. Though in most cases, you won't require any treatment but if you are too bloated and feel uncomfortable, here are a few home remedies to help you relieve gas faster.  

Get on the mat

Studies have shown that exercise can decrease bloating. This happens because when you exercise, your intestines are stimulated to move gas more quickly through your digestive system.

Some of the most helpful exercises to relieve gas include:

- Lie down on your back and move your legs just like you would do while cycling.

- Take a short walk after you eat.

- Some yoga poses like Child's pose, Seated twist and Adamantine pose (vajrasana) can also help relieve gas quickly.

Use peppermint oil

Studies have shown that peppermint oil can improve the symptoms of IBS including diarrhoea, bloating, constipation and excessive gas.

Peppermint has antispasmodic qualities, which stops your colon from having involuntary muscle contractions that can contribute to pain in the abdomen.

In a review published in 2014 in the Journal of Clinical Gastroenterology, people suffering from IBS who took peppermint oil saw a significant improvement in their symptoms than those who did not.

You can buy peppermint capsules and have one around an hour before you sit down to eat your meal. 

Apply heat

Some evidences prove that using a heating pad can help relieve the stomach ache caused by excessive gas. A heating pad, heated up to 104 degrees Fahrenheit can help relieve stomach ache up to an hour. This happens because your body switches on the heat receptors and deactivates some of the pain receptors.

Verdict

It's completely safe to use the above home remedies to get rid of excessive gas but if you feel gas and bloating regularly, you must consult your doctor.
