Natural stomach soothers

-

✽ Used for centuries, peppermint can have a calming effect. We love Oil of Peppermint, £5.99, Holland & Barrett.

✽ T2 Tummy Tea, £8, contains mint, fennel and liquorice root. Sip to help relieve bloating and stomachchu­rning.

✽ Stress often aggravates the problem. Try transforma­tional breathing – breathe in deeply and slowly for three seconds, then breathe out quickly for one second. Repeat for five minutes to feel calmer.

✽ ‘Magnesium helps to relax muscles and nerves, which can help combat cramping and constipati­on,’ says nutritioni­st Cassandra Barns. ‘Try to include dark leafy greens, nuts, seeds, fish, whole grains and bananas in your diet.’
