• Ginger works effectively as a carminative and improves blood circulation, which in turn helps alleviate bloating and gas. It soothes the digestive system.
• Mint helps relax muscles and allows gas trapped in the digestive tracts to pass, thereby reducing bloating symptoms.
• Cucumber acts as a diuretic that enables your body to flush out toxins and reduce bloating. It also helps keep the gut clean and free from constipation.
