Flatulence - Chinese Medicine explanation and treatment
According to Chinese Medicine flatulence is caused by stagnation of the stomach energy, causing food stagnation and damp heat or indigestion. Normally a Chinese Medicine practitioner will treat flatulence with magnolia bark, orange or citron peel. Another herb, amomum villosum fruit, called "grains of paradise" in English, is often used for flatulence, as is perilla stem.
