Fennel

Fennel seeds have a licorice-like flavor and are used to create tea. Fennel has long been used to treat digestive issues like constipation, gas, bloating, and stomach discomfort. Fennel extract therapy helped protect against ulcers in rats. Your risk of bloating may decrease if you prevent ulcers. Another cause of bloating in some people is constipation. Therefore, one of fennel's possible health benefits—relieving constipation—might also help with bloating. Nursing home residents who suffered from chronic constipation experienced an average of 4 more bowel movements over the course of 28 days when they drank 1 daily cup of a herbal tea mix containing fennel seeds as opposed to those who took a placebo.

Human trials on fennel tea alone are still required to demonstrate its digestive effects. If you don't want to use tea bags, you can purchase fennel seeds and smash them to make tea. 1-2 teaspoons (2-5 grams) seeds per cup (240 ml) boiling water Allow to steep for 10-15 minutes.
