Bear garlic (Allium ursinum), also known as wild garlic or ramsons, has a long history of traditional use in European folk medicine, including for digestive complaints such as gas and bloating. Historical records and ethnobotanical surveys indicate that bear garlic was commonly used as a spring tonic to "cleanse the stomach and intestines" and to relieve flatulence and mild digestive discomfort. The plant contains sulfur-containing compounds similar to those found in common garlic (Allium sativum), which are believed to stimulate digestive secretions and motility, potentially helping to expel gas and reduce bloating. However, while these traditional uses are well documented, direct scientific studies examining the efficacy of bear garlic specifically for gas and bloating are lacking. Most available research focuses on its antimicrobial, antioxidant, and cardiovascular properties rather than digestive effects. Therefore, while traditional evidence exists and is plausible based on the plant’s constituents, there is a lack of robust clinical or preclinical research directly supporting its use for gas and bloating. The evidence rating reflects the presence of traditional use but the absence of strong scientific validation.
