Herbal Remedies for Tympanites

Tympanites is abdominal distention due to a buildup of gas in the intestines. It can be associated with weak digestion, eating while stressed, irritable bowel syndromes, or bowel obstruction. If the condition persists, it is best to consult a qualified health practitioner.

Herbal support includes carminatives, digestive stimulants, or bowel tonics and laxatives. Be cautious with laxatives, and don't use them for more than 5 days without consulting a qualified practitioner.
