Ginger: Support for Digestive System Many of us have enjoyed ginger in our food for many years. Gingerbread, ginger snaps, and ginger ale are just a few of the popular foods utilizing the spicy root. Those popular foods have their roots (no pun intended) in ancient medicinal uses. Today ginger is still popular and finds application in a number of health needs.

Historically ginger has been used as a digestive aid. The ancient Greeks wrapped bits of ginger root in their bread and ate it after dinner to help their digestion. This practice eventually led to the development of gingerbread. Later the English started making ginger beer to soothe upset stomachs.

Research studies begun in the 1980s and beyond have verified ginger’s usefulness in aiding digestion. A 1999 study conducted in Germany showed that ginger increased digestive movement through the stomach and duodenum.

Help for Nausea For many years, ginger has been suggested as an aid to relieve or prevent nausea and vomiting related to pregnancy. A 1998 report reviewed 10 clinical studies and confirmed this relationship. Further research is needed, and pregnant women should consult their physician before using ginger.

Taking 500 mg of ginger two or three times a day may also prove helpful in reducing motion sickness.
