Mint is a natural way to relieve gas attacks

Eating mint or sucking on a peppermint candy can quickly stop intestinal distress in most cases.   Why? Mint is a carminative, meaning that it both prevents and facilitates the release of gas. Mint relaxes muscle tissue, especially smooth muscle tissue, making it a useful antispasmodic. It should be noted that if you are having a gas attack, it is your body telling you that what you ate was not digestible! Avoid it in the future!
