Little Lotte snuggles up to her mother contentedly. The stomach ache is finally gone and she feels much better again. The discomfort was caused by gas accumulating in her intestines. The two-year-old had probably swallowed too much air while drinking. Regardless of whether you're big or small, severe flatulence is a recurring problem throughout life. In adulthood, stress and hectic eating are the main causes of discomfort. But what can help with stomach pains?

Home remedies for stomach ache

A tried and tested home remedy for pain in the lower abdomen is fennel tea, for example. However, not everyone likes the intense aniseed flavor. What's more, we don't always have it to hand when we're out and about. Or when we are woken up at night.

A practical alternative is a new combination of four different homeopathic active ingredients (Bellilin, pharmacy). It is part of the new mama natura range and has been specially formulated for flatulence. It contains lycopodium (Lycopodium) and nux vomica (Nux vomica), among other things, and gently regulates and normalizes intestinal activity in babies and adults. As a result, not only does the excess gas disappear, but also annoying accompanying symptoms such as bloating and belching.

Goodbye tummy ache

A ten-minute massage, which you can easily do at home on the sofa, is also beneficial. Circle your hands over your stomach in a clockwise direction. In between, move your thumbs to your belly button and back again. It is best to rub your hands with olive oil beforehand so that they glide more easily. This way you can confidently say goodbye to stomach cramps and the like.

What helps prevent abdominal pain?

We can prevent flatulence and stomach cramps by eating in peace and chewing every bite well, up to 30 times. We should also relax after stressful periods, for example by going for a walk.
