How Carminative Herbs Aid Digestion
Carminative herbs have several actions that bring relief: they stimulate peristalsis, which is the wave-like muscle contrac- tions that push food through the digestive tract; they help relax the smooth muscle of the digestive tract, reducing painful spasms; and lastly the antibacterial properties of the volatile oils aid in reducing pain that results from the gas that is formed when bacteria in the intestines act on food that has not been fully digested. Passing intestinal gas is a normal bodily function, however, it can be painful, uncomfortable and embarrassing. Although gas is not usually a sign of serious illness, expelling excess gas can bring quick relief.

Over-the-counter medications for indigestion are some of the best-selling drugs on the market. They may relieve symptoms temporarily, however they do nothing to address the underly- ing cause, and often have undesirable side effects. In the long run, treating just the symptoms can aggravate an underlying condition that is causing indigestion. Carminative herbs on the other hand don't suppress the natural defense mechanisms of the body. While in some cases carminative herbs cannot address the underlying cause of indigestion, there are no damaging side effects with their use.
