Around the holidays, or anytime you’ve over-indulged, consider sweet and zesty ginger for nourishing the digestive organs.
Ginger (Zingiber officinale) is a knobby, horn-shaped rhizome with a long history of supporting metabolism, aiding digestion and reducing inflammation. It helps heal upset stomach, diarrhea, nausea, motion sickness, and morning sickness.
I advise patients to suck on hard ginger candies if they experience or anticipate experiencing symptoms of motion sickness: I like these organic, gluten free, not-too-sweet candies from GoOrganic.
