A review on chinese herbal medicine used as carminative

 "The World Health Organization (WHO) recognizes traditional medicine's diverse practices, including herbal remedies, as a significant component of global healthcare. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), originating over 3,000 years ago, incorporates herbal medicine, acupuncture, and other techniques. The term "carminative" is derived from the Latin word "carminare," meaning to cleanse. Carminatives can reduce lower esophageal pressure, thereby potentially increasing the susceptibility to gastroesophageal reflux disease or heartburn."

"Carminative herbs exert their therapeutic effects through the volatile oils they contain, which increase gastric emptying, mildly irritate the gastric mucosa, and promote peristalsis to relieve cramping and expel gas. Some well-known carminative herbs include asafoetida, coriander, cloves, fenugreek, cardamom, ginger, kalonji, and cinnamon. These herbs are incorporated into traditional medicinal practices worldwide, including Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), which has gained popularity globally. The World Health Organization recognizes traditional medicine's diversity, encompassing various health practices, approaches, and beliefs, including the use of herbal medicines.

In conclusion, the rich tradition of using medicinal plants, particularly carminative herbs, continues to be a subject of interest and research in the field of healthcare. These natural remedies offer a holistic approach to health and well-being, with potential benefits that extend beyond relieving gastrointestinal symptoms."

This is the conclusion of an international team of researchers from the Universities of Tübingen, Barcelona and Warsaw.
