AYURVEDIC PERSPECTIVE ON CARMINATIVE

A word that survives from the Greek humoral system of medicine, carminative literally means to 'card wool', referring to its ability to comb out the knots in the body preventing the free flow. A similar term called anuloma survives in Ayurveda, meaning to propel food downward. Many carminatives reduce esophageal pressure and are contraindicated in acid reflux.
