Turmeric Relieves Gas and Indigestion
Suffering from indigestion, bloating, and flatulence? Turmeric may help relieve the discomfort and embarrassment of these common gastrointestinal conditions. It's also thought to help reduce fatigue after eating. (vii.141-142)
How Does It Work?
Turmeric has a number of properties that suggest adding turmeric to your diet can help improve digestion. These include:
- Stimulates bile and gallbladder function, which improves fat digestion. (vii.142)
- Antispasmodic activity inhibits stomach cramps. (vii.142)
Some of the natural compounds in turmeric are also helpful in relieving acid reflux. Traditional herbal medicines suggest drinking raw turmeric juice to relieve both indigestion and heartburn. (vii.8, 141)
