Ginger for Heartburn
Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) affects 20% of adults. Ginger offers a complementary natural approach.
How Ginger Helps
- Speeds up gastric emptying — less stomach content = less reflux
- Anti-inflammatory — reduces esophageal inflammation
- Antispasmodic — relaxes the esophageal sphincter in a controlled manner
- Gastroprotective — curcumin protects the gastric lining
- Prebiotic — supports digestive flora
Sugar Worsens Reflux
Sugar slows gastric emptying and causes fermentation. A concentrate with 34g sugar/100ml worsens reflux.
Protocol
One shot 15-20 minutes before main meals. Typical improvement in 1-2 weeks. Does not replace gastroenterologist consultation.
