Indian Cassia (Cinnamomum cassia, often referred to simply as "cassia" or "Chinese cinnamon") has a long history of use in traditional medicine systems, including Ayurveda and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), for various digestive complaints such as indigestion, flatulence, and belching. In Ayurveda, cassia is considered to have carminative properties, meaning it helps to relieve gas from the digestive tract, which can in turn reduce belching. Traditional preparations may include cassia bark in decoctions or powders mixed with other herbs to alleviate symptoms of bloating and excessive burping.

However, there is limited modern scientific research specifically investigating cassia’s efficacy for belching. Most scientific studies focus on cassia’s broader effects, such as its antimicrobial or anti-inflammatory properties, or its ability to stimulate digestive enzymes, which could theoretically contribute to improved digestion and reduced gas. These mechanisms are largely extrapolated from animal studies or in vitro research rather than direct clinical trials involving belching as a measured outcome.

In summary, while there is a strong traditional basis for using Indian Cassia in the management of belching, scientific validation is sparse and indirect. The use of cassia for this purpose remains rooted primarily in historical practice rather than rigorous modern evidence.
