About Tummy Ease Gel
Tummy Ease Gel takes the same family of carminative herbs found in the Tummy Ease capsule and puts them into a topical gel meant to be worked in around the navel. It is a licensed Ayurvedic proprietary medicine from Cadila Pharmaceuticals, marketed by ChezGreen, and it is for external use only.
The idea behind it is old and simple. In Ayurvedic dinacharya the nabhi — the navel — is treated as an important centre of the abdomen, and warm, aromatic dravyas are massaged over it to settle wind and ease a tight, gassy belly. A gel makes that easy to do cleanly: a small amount over the navel, massaged until it absorbs.
Traditional Ayurvedic Importance
The herbs here are the classical wind-relievers. Hingu (asafoetida) is Ayurveda's foremost carminative, described in Bhavaprakasha Nighantu as deepana, pachana and vata-anulomana — qualities traditionally sought for exactly the trapped-wind, colicky feeling this gel is applied for. Yavani (ajwain) is the aromatic, appetising companion to it; Adrak (ginger) and Marich (black pepper) round out the warming, carminative character, and Nadihingu (Gardenia gummifera) is a traditional carminative associate of Hingu.
Applied externally, the gel is not asked to do the work of a medicine taken by mouth. It is a warming, aromatic abdominal massage in the dinacharya tradition — a comforting ritual over the navel when the belly feels full of wind.

How to Use
For external use only. As printed on the pack: spread a small amount of Tummy Ease Gel over and around the navel and massage gently until it is absorbed. Use when the abdomen feels full of wind, or as directed by your Ayurvedic physician. Wash your hands after applying and keep the gel away from the eyes.
Who Can Use It
Suited to anyone looking for a simple external abdominal massage for gas, bloating and colicky discomfort. Because it is applied topically, it can also be used for children under the guidance of a paediatrician or Ayurvedic physician. Do a small patch test first if your skin is sensitive, avoid broken skin and the eye area, and consult your physician if you are pregnant or lactating.
Safety Information
For external use only — do not swallow. Apply only to intact skin around the navel; keep away from the eyes, mouth and any broken skin. If irritation or redness appears, stop using it and rinse with water. A patch test is sensible for sensitive skin. For infants and children use only under a physician's guidance. Keep out of reach of children. Results may vary from person to person.
Storage
Store below 30°C in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Close the cap firmly after use and keep out of reach of children.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I use Tummy Ease Gel?
Spread a small amount over and around the navel and massage gently until it absorbs. It is for external use only — it is not swallowed. Use it when the abdomen feels tight or full of wind, or as your Ayurvedic physician advises.
Is it taken by mouth?
No. Tummy Ease Gel is strictly for external application on the skin around the navel. Only the Tummy Ease capsules and drops are taken internally.
Can it be used for babies and children?
Because it is applied topically, many parents use it as a gentle tummy massage — but for infants and young children please use it only under the guidance of a paediatrician or Ayurvedic physician, and always patch-test first.
Is it Ayurvedic, and who makes it?
It is a licensed Ayurvedic proprietary medicine (Mfg. Lic. No. GA/1733), manufactured by Cadila Pharmaceuticals Ltd and marketed by its herbal division ChezGreen.
What is in it?
Extracts of Hingu (asafoetida), Yavani (ajwain), Nadihingu (Gardenia gummifera), Adrak (ginger) and Marich (black pepper) in a gel base, with two pharmacopoeial (IP) preservatives — Nipagin Sodium and Nipasol Sodium — disclosed on the pack. The full label composition is listed above.
Does it contain preservatives?
Yes — small pharmacopoeial quantities of Nipagin Sodium (0.1%) and Nipasol Sodium (0.05%), as printed on the pack. We list them openly rather than describe the gel as preservative-free.
Why massage the navel specifically?
In Ayurvedic dinacharya the nabhi (navel) is treated as a key centre of the abdomen, and warm aromatic herbs are traditionally massaged over it to settle wind. Tummy Ease Gel is a modern, mess-free way to do that.
Have these herbs been studied?
Yes, for their traditional digestive use: a placebo-controlled study of asafoetida (PMID 30224930), a pharmacological study of ajwain's spasmolytic action (PMID 25599053) and one on ginger and gastric motility (PMID 21218090). These describe the herbs generally; the gel itself is an external massage product and results may vary.
How should I store it, and is it genuine at Riddhish Herbals?
Store below 30°C, away from sunlight, out of reach of children. Riddhish Herbals stocks genuine Tummy Ease Gel with a bill provided and ships pan-India.
