Bloating after meals

Some people may be small in stature but have a large appetite, eating heartily without changing their expression, and their waists remain slim. However, for others, even a small amount of food can cause their belly to "visibly swell." This is very likely due to gastric distension caused by stomach gas.

Gastric distension is mainly related to the spleen, stomach, and liver. It takes 15 to 20 minutes for the stomach to send a feeling of fullness to the brain's nerves. It is advisable to chew slowly and eat moderately, avoiding overeating. In addition to diet, mood can also affect spleen and stomach digestion. Maintaining a pleasant mood and relieving stress can also alleviate discomfort from gastric distension.

If you experience gastric distension, you can prepare 8 grams of dandelion, 3 grams of cyperus rotundus, and a piece of dried tangerine peel. After washing the ingredients, put them into a thermos cup, add hot water, and steep for 10 minutes before drinking.

This tea can clear heat and harmonize the middle burner, relieving feelings of gastric distension and fullness. After eating, you can gently massage your abdomen, which helps to expel stomach gas.

Dandelion tastes bitter and sweet, is cold in nature, and enters the liver and stomach meridians. It can clear heat and detoxify, reduce swelling, and disperse nodules.

Cyperus rotundus tastes pungent and slightly bitter, is neutral in nature, and enters the liver and spleen meridians. It can regulate qi and relieve depression, alleviate pain and regulate menstruation, and soothe discomfort caused by qi stagnation. Dried tangerine peel tastes pungent, is warm in nature, and enters the lung and spleen meridians. It can regulate qi and strengthen the spleen, dry dampness, and transform phlegm.

If stomach discomfort is caused by emotional stagnation, you can brew a tea with 3 grams of bergamot flower, 5 roses, and a piece of dried tangerine peel. This tea helps to soothe the liver and regulate qi, warm the middle burner, and harmonize the stomach.

Bergamot flower tastes bitter, is warm in nature, and enters the liver and stomach meridians. It can regulate qi and harmonize the middle burner, soothe the liver and relieve depression, dry dampness and transform phlegm, and harmonize the stomach to alleviate discomfort.

Rose flower tastes sweet, is warm in nature, and enters the liver and spleen meridians. It can replenish blood and nourish qi, and regulate qi to relieve depression.
