for Acid Reflux
Ginger has natural prokinetic properties that may speed gastric emptying and reduce nausea associated with reflux. A widely used home remedy with physiological rationale.
How it works
Gingerols and shogaols stimulate motility of the gastrointestinal tract, potentially reducing the time acid remains in the stomach.
What to watch for
Fresh ginger root tea is preferable to concentrated supplements. Carbonated ginger ale can worsen reflux. Very high doses of ginger may irritate the stomach.
