Ginger and digestion : what science says

The ginger has been used for millennia for digestive disorders. Modern science confirms these benefits.

Against nausea

Ginger is one of the best-researched natural anti-nausea medications. Proven effectiveness for nausea pregnancy (Viljoen et al., 2014), motion sickness and post-operative nausea.

Against the bloating

Ginger stimulates gastric motility — the rate at which the stomach empties. Faster gastric emptying = less bloating and discomfort after meals.

Against the reflux

Unlike antacids, ginger does not suppress stomach acid. It improves esophageal motility and strengthens the lower esophageal sphincter, reducing reflux episodes.

The role of turmeric

The turmeric complements the digestive action of ginger by stimulating the production of bile (necessary for the digestion of fats) and reducing intestinal inflammation.

Watch out for sugar

Sugar ferments in the gut, producing gas and making bloating worse. Take ginger with 34g of sugar/100ml is counterproductive for digestion. Choose a shot no added sugar.
