Home Remedies for Belching
Belching is the expulsion of gas from the digestive tract which involves mainly esophagus and stomach. It is commonly known as burp. In addition to the release of gas, it is sometime accompanied with sound and also a foul odor. In medical terms, it is referred to as eructation.

According to experts, the LES is a bunch of muscles located at the low end of the esophagus (where it meets with the stomach) and prevents stomach content, acid, among other substances, from returning from the stomach to the esophagus. In turn, the UES is also a collection of muscles located at the top of the esophagus. These are consciously controlled muscles, which prevent food and secretions from going down the trachea (windpipe). We use them when vomiting, belching, eating or
...ve eaten, to break down the food into a liquid mixture and to slowly empty that liquid mixture into the small intestine. Once the bolus has entered your stomach it begins to be broken down with the help of the strong muscles and gastric juices which are located in the walls of your stomach. The gastric juices are made up of hydrochloric acid, water, and mucus- and the main enzyme inside of your stomach is what is known as pepsin, which needs to be surrounded in an acidic setting in order to do its job, that is to break down protein. Once the bolus has been inside of your stomach for long enough it begins to form into a liquid called chyme, and what keeps the chyme from flowing back into our esophagus are ring shaped muscles known as sphincters located at the beginnings and ends of the stomach and they have the task of controlling the flow of solids and liquids.
