Synopsis

Source of validity: Traditional
Rating (out of 5): 2

Green tea (Camellia sinensis) has been used traditionally in various cultures, particularly in East Asia, to aid digestion and alleviate gastrointestinal discomfort, including symptoms like belching (eructation). Historical records from Chinese and Japanese medicine suggest that drinking green tea after meals was believed to promote digestion, reduce bloating, and ease mild digestive disturbances. The presumed mechanism involves the mild stimulant effect of caffeine, which may enhance gastric motility, as well as the presence of polyphenols such as catechins, which are thought to have soothing effects on the gastrointestinal tract.

However, scientific evidence directly supporting green tea as a treatment specifically for belching is limited. While a few small studies have suggested that green tea might help with general digestive health by modulating gut microbiota and reducing inflammation, there is little to no rigorous clinical research focused on its effects on belching itself. Most evidence remains anecdotal or is based on traditional use rather than systematic investigation. In some cases, green tea's caffeine content could potentially aggravate gastrointestinal symptoms in sensitive individuals.

In summary, the use of green tea for belching is primarily rooted in tradition, with a modest historical basis but only limited indirect scientific support. Its efficacy for this specific symptom remains largely unproven by modern clinical standards.
