Burping is one of the natural phenomena that occur on a daily basis with everyone. Also known as a belch and ‘eructation’, in medical terms, it is the method by which human body releases small amounts of air that gets trapped with your food and drink, when they are on their way down. Though it happens naturally, owing to the pressure build inside your system, a burp can also be induced if you are feeling bloated or uneasy. Therefore, the knowledge of how to burp can be really helpful when you are in an uncomfortable situation. Read the information provided in the lines below and learn to make yourself burp.
How Do You Burp
- Remember, it is always difficult to burp when you are lying down. So, whenever you feel like burping, stand up or at least sit up. By doing, this gas will go up your system and enable you to burp easily.
- Another way of inducing burping is by drinking a heavily carbonated beverage. By ingesting such a beverage, you will add gas to your stomach. As the gas rises up in your system, it may bring other gases up along, thereby assisting you in eliminating excess air out of your system.
- You can even try closing your mouth and nostrils, so that you do inhale additional air. Now, exhale and swallow exhaled air with saliva. This way you introduce enough air into your system to burp. This method is useful for burping on command, but does not help in releasing existing gas.
- Exerting pressure by gently patting the middle of your back as well as rubbing in circular motions also helps in burping. This way, you can stimulate the air inside to rise and eventually move out.
- Another effective way of burping is by closing the mouth and letting the gas come out through the nose. While doing this, hold your hand up close to your nose, so that the released gas dissipates against it. This way, you will be able to mellow down your burping process.
