Ginger
Ginger is a popular herb in the kitchen as well as the medicine cabinet. It has a long history of use in foods because it soothes the digestion. The essential oil, gingerol, aids digestion by increasing the release of digestive juices and regulating intestinal contractions. Ginger's anti-nausea properties are due to the essential oil, shogaol.
It has been clinically tested and shown to be as effective as many anti-nausea drugs. The big benefit of using ginger for nausea is that it does not cause drowsiness. Ginger can be used for nausea from motion sickness and pregnancy.. Ginger also has anti-inflammatory properties and can be used for muscle and joint injuries like athletic injuries and arthritis. Historically ginger was also used topically as a wash for wounds and sores because it has the ability to prevent infection.
Ginger is a medicinal food because the active ingredients are present in the root in sufficient quantities to have some medicinal effects. Chewing on raw ginger or ginger candy is often sufficient to decrease nausea. Ginger tea is helpful for nausea and indigestion. Dried ground ginger that is used as a spice has less medicinal value because the essential oils are lost in the drying process. Ginger supplements are found as encapsulated herb and tablets. Ginger products should be standardized as an assurance that some active ingredients are present. Ginger can be found in combination products for indigestion, motion sickness and inflammation.
Motion Sickness
We've all experienced motion sickness to some degree or another, but some people are more sensitive to it than others. Whether it's in a car, a boat or an airplane, motion sickness can make your trip very uncomfortable and even cause a great deal of distress.
Motion sickness occurs when the part of the inner ear responsible for balance is disturbed by chaotic motion. The eyes contribute to motion sickness by giving feedback to the brain that is constantly moving. Symptoms of motion sickness are nausea, excess salivation, vomiting, headaches, sweating and pallor of the skin. Factors that make motion sickness worse are poor air quality, lack of oxygen, overindulgence in food or alcohol, anxiety, stress, dehydration and jet lag.
Ginger, commonly used in cooking has an incredible nausea reducing power that equals many of the conventional over the counter drug medications (such as Dramamine) for reducing motion sickness. It is safe and has none of the potential side effects that can occur with conventional medications. Its active ingredient is gingerol and is best taken in a standardized (concentrated) supplement form rather than the raw powder.
The best time to take ginger for motion sickness is about an hour before you begin travelling. It can be taken at the onset of symptoms, but will be the most effective when taken in advance. Ginger can help relieve, nausea, upset stomach, acid reflux, and heartburn.
