How to Debloat Fast: Cumin, Fennel, Ginger Tea (Ayurvedic Home Remedy)

If your stomach feels puffy, tight, or “heavy,” Ayurveda doesn’t jump straight to harsh detoxes. It starts with something simple: warming digestion, easing trapped gas, and helping your body move what it’s holding onto.

One of the most classic home remedies for bloating in Ayurveda is a cumin–fennel–ginger tea. It’s comforting, easy, and (when used correctly) incredibly effective as part of a debloat routine.

I’m Sonam Makharia, a Certified Ayurvedic Health Coach and Certified Skincare Formulator (with an MBA), and I share holistic routines that connect digestion, inflammation, and how you feel in your skin, because bloat and sluggish digestion often show up everywhere.

Ingredients

• 1 tsp cumin seeds (jeera)

• 1 tsp fennel seeds (saunf)

• ½ to 1 tsp freshly grated ginger (or ¼ tsp dried ginger powder)

• 2 cups water

• Optional: a pinch of rock salt (helps if you feel heavy/constipated)

• Optional: a squeeze of lemon after it cools slightly (skip if you have acidity)

How to make it

1. Add water to a pot.

2. Add cumin + fennel + ginger.

3. Bring to a boil, then simmer 8–10 minutes.

4. Strain and sip warm.

How to drink it for best results

• For quick debloat: 1 cup after meals

• For daily digestion support: 1 cup mid-morning or evening

• For “puffy” mornings: 1 cup warm, slowly sipped

Don’t chug it. Sip like you’re telling your nervous system to calm down too.

Variations based on what your bloating feels like

1) If you’re gassy + crampy

Add ¼ tsp ajwain (carom seeds) to the tea.

2) If you’re constipated + dry

Add a pinch of rock salt and drink warm after dinner.

3) If you feel acidic (burning, reflux)

Use less ginger, skip lemon, and don’t drink it on an empty stomach.
