Stops gassiness: This healing sip

-

The physiologi­cal strain of keeping cool can disrupt our digestive system, triggering bloat and gassiness for millions of us. But Indian researcher­s say compounds in licorice-like ajwain seed tea prompt the release of digestion-enhancing enzymes, cutting the risk of these bothers by 70% if you sip 4 oz. after your heaviest meal. You’ll find ajwain seeds in Whole Foods stores and online at iHerb.com. Mix 1 tsp. of the seeds with 2 cups of water and simmer for 8 minutes, then strain and chill. Serve over ice with your favorite sweetener.
