Eating out often, stress, too much coffee or tea and long periods of staying hungry can all lead to bloating, acidity, indigestion and constipation. Apart from that, a bad digestive system also tends to lead to the accumulation of belly fat due to a sluggish metabolism. But now you don’t have to do those extra crunches or reach for the bottle of antacids — here’s a simple home remedy that will work wonders for you: Betel leaf, ajwain (carom seeds) and clove.
How it works
When combined ajwain (carom seeds), betel leaf and clove make a potent mixture that helps improve digestion, boost metabolism, beat acidity and relieve gas. All this is due to their carminative properties. This mixture also increases the production of saliva –further strengthening the functioning of your digestive tract — and improves the peristaltic movement of your stomach, thereby relieving constipation.
How to use it
Take one betel leaf and add one clove and half a teaspoon of ajwain seeds. Now roll up the beetle leaf so as to make it into a tight ball. Place this at the back of your mouth and gently bite down on it. Do not chew. Leave it in your mouth and you will notice the juice of the mixture seeping into your mouth and throat. Keep swallowing this mixture. Leave it in your mouth till the entire mixture is ingested.
How often should you have this mix?
Having this mixture once a day is enough to see results.
A word of caution: Both ajwain and betel leaves can be quite pungent so avoid chewing the mixture. Also, if you feel the mixture is too potent sip on some water to help relieve the sensation.
