Relieving bloating and acidity with ginger and fennel powder

New Delhi (The Uttam Hindu): Bloating and acidity are common problems faced by many, especially after meals like lunch. These issues can arise from eating too quickly, particularly when people are busy at work or school. However, incorporating ginger and fennel powder into your routine can help alleviate these symptoms.

Ginger contains a compound called gingerol, which promotes digestion by aiding the quick movement of food through the intestines, providing relief from bloating, constipation and acidity. Fennel, on the other hand, is rich in fiber, helping to improve digestion, and possesses anti-inflammatory properties, which reduce stomach swelling and bloating. Together, this powerful combination supports better digestion, reduces water retention, and boosts metabolism, leading to smoother digestion.

In addition, ginger’s gingerol compound also aids in blood circulation, which can help regulate blood pressure after meals. Potassium in fennel helps relax blood vessels, further maintaining balanced blood pressure.

How to Use Ginger and Fennel Powder

To make the powder:

1. Dry the ginger and grind it into a powder.

2. Roast fennel seeds and grind them into a powder.

3. Mix both powders in an air-tight container and store them.

Consume one teaspoon of the mixture after meals, or mix it with water in the morning on an empty stomach for continued relief from bloating and acidity.
