Synopsis

Source of validity: Traditional
Rating (out of 5): 1

Chervil (Anthriscus cerefolium) has a history of use in traditional herbal medicine, particularly in European folk remedies, for addressing digestive complaints, including belching (eructation), bloating, and mild stomach discomfort. Historical herbal texts and traditional herbals occasionally reference chervil as a mild carminative—an agent thought to relieve flatulence and aid digestion. However, these uses are largely anecdotal and based on traditional herbal knowledge rather than on controlled scientific studies. There is a lack of robust clinical trials or pharmacological studies specifically evaluating chervil’s efficacy for belching or related gastrointestinal symptoms. Most modern scientific literature does not focus on chervil for this indication, and any evidence available is indirect, often extrapolated from its traditional use or from studies on related plants within the Apiaceae family. In summary, while chervil has a traditional reputation for supporting digestive health, including relief from belching, this use is not well-supported by scientific evidence, and any benefit should be considered speculative and based primarily on historical practice.
