Bloated stomach making you uncomfortable? Skip the expensive pills and head to your kitchen! Indian households have long relied on simple, effective ingredients to relieve bloating.

Ajwain (carom seeds) and hing (asafoetida) are powerful digestion boosters. Just a pinch in warm water can ease gas instantly. Saunf (fennel), often served post-meal, cools the tummy and reduces heaviness. Jeera (cumin), especially in water or tea, gently relieves indigestion and improves gut health.

Ginger revs up metabolism and supports faster digestion. Combine it with lemon and black salt for added punch. Mint not only cools the system but also relaxes the gut. And nothing beats the classic buttermilk (chaas)-add jeera, pudina, and kala namak for an age-old, gut-soothing drink.

Bonus: Try these grandma-approved recipes-hing-ajwain water, jeera-saunf tea, or mint-ginger chutney. They’re not just flavorful but extremely effective in banishing that post-meal bloat!
