What are the best Indian home remedies for bad-smelling gas, and how can they be treated naturally? - #12294

I have been experiencing bad-smelling gas and bloating lately, and I want to know the best Indian home remedies for this issue. I understand that this could be related to digestive issues or food intolerance, but I am looking for natural solutions that can help in treating gas and improving digestion without relying on over-the-counter medications. From what I have read, gas and bloating are often caused by undigested food fermenting in the stomach, leading to intestinal discomfort and foul-smelling flatulence. Some Indian home remedies suggest using herbs like Ajwain (Carom seeds), Hing (Asafoetida), and Jeera (Cumin) to improve digestion and reduce gas. How effective are these herbs in treating bad-smelling gas, and how should they be consumed—as a tea, powder, or with warm water? One of the most commonly recommended remedies for gas is drinking Jeera water. Many people suggest boiling Jeera seeds in water and drinking it after meals. Does this actually help in calming the digestive system and preventing gas formation? How long does it take to notice relief from bloating and bad-smelling gas after drinking Jeera water? Another popular remedy is Ajwain and Ginger. Some people say that chewing Ajwain seeds or drinking Ajwain tea with fresh ginger helps in reducing bloating and improving gut motility. How effective is this remedy in treating flatulence and gas caused by indigestion? Should it be consumed daily or only when experiencing symptoms? I also came across the use of Hing (Asafoetida) in Indian kitchens. Some people mix Hing with warm water or milk to relieve gas and bloating. How does Hing help in improving digestion, and is it safe to use for long-term relief from gas? Another Indian remedy I read about is using fennel seeds (Saunf) after meals. Many people chew fennel seeds or drink fennel tea to aid digestion and reduce flatulence. Does this really help in preventing bad-smelling gas, and how should it be consumed—before or after meals? I also want to know if diet plays a role in causing bad-smelling gas. Should I avoid foods like beans, cabbage, and spicy foods that may lead to increased gas production? Are there any cooling foods in Ayurveda that can calm Pitta and reduce gas naturally? One of my concerns is whether Indian home remedies for gas have any side effects or restrictions. For example, some remedies include spices like Hing, Ajwain, and Cumin, which are strong in nature. Are there any individuals who should avoid these remedies, such as those with sensitive stomachs or underlying health conditions? Lastly, I would like to know if Panchakarma or Ayurvedic detox treatments help in reducing chronic gas and bloating. Have any of you used Ayurvedic therapies like Virechana (purgation therapy) or Basti (medicated enema) for digestive issues, and how effective were they in treating gas and improving overall digestion? If anyone has personal experience with Indian home remedies for gas and bloating, I would love to hear about your results. What remedies worked best for you, and how quickly did you experience relief from bad-smelling gas? Looking forward to your insights!
