Ginger
By: Naturopathic Doctor (N.D.)
Ginger settles and soothes your stomach...
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, to 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.
Ginger, when used as a food, has very few side effects. Most side effects and cautions are relevant only when ginger supplements are used. Ginger has blood thinning and gallbladder stimulating properties. Ginger supplements should be used with caution by individuals on blood thinning medication, including aspirin, and individuals with gallstones. For the same reason, ginger supplements should be discontinued prior to surgery or dental work.
