Bloating is one of the most common digestive problems in the community and many peoplesuffer from it [1]. There are many medications to eliminate bloating that can be classified intothree categories: synthetic, semi-synthetic and natural. The present paper reviews and comparesthe performance of the synthetic drug of dimethicone and the natural medicine Trachyspermumammi, a medicinal plant, in an overview method of study. The studies show thatthe synthetic drug dimethicone has surfacatant, anti-surface tensile and anti-foam properties.Also the herbal medicine Trachyspermum ammi that has a warm and dry nature, has manyproperties, including anti-surface tensile strength, anti-foam, and exacerbates the intestine andstomach movements. The results of the present study indicate that both dimethicone and Trachyspermumammi, due to the properties described above, can reduce bloating in the stomachand intestine, although they do not completely eliminate it. Regarding these results, althoughthe therapeutic effects of dimethicone are higher than that of Trachyspermum ammi, the useof Trachyspermum ammi in comparison with dimethicone has less harm.
