Flatulence is known as Anaha in Ayurveda. The causative dosha is Vata and is characterized by stiffness in the lower abdomen, scanty defecation, and occasional breathing problems.

Common Recipes:

• Take a pinch of asafetida and dissolve it in a cup of hot water. Drink this water when it is adequately cool.
• Lightly roast a tablespoonful of fennel seeds. Once they cool down to a bearable temperature, chew them thoroughly in divided doses. After the first two doses, you will experience a great deal of relief.
• Take a spoonful of Ajowan seeds and swallow instantly along with a cup of lukewarm water for immediate relief.
