Stomach pain is often caused by acidosis. Ginger tea helps with that. Praxisvita reveals how you can best use the healing power.
Relieve hyperacidity quickly: When there is rumbling in the gastrointestinal tract, we quickly feel uncomfortable. The ingredients of the ginger root bring the stomach and intestines back into balance: Essential oils and the pungent substance gingerol support digestion and bind excess acid in the stomach.
Ginger tea for stomach pain
In addition, the active ingredients relieve nausea and vomiting. Ginger tea helps with acute symptoms: brew a few slices of fresh ginger with 200 ml of boiling water, leave to stand for ten minutes, and drink lukewarm. Even easier than ginger tea is the use of high-dose ginger drops (from the pharmacy).
Ginger helps with nausea
Ginger is also effective against nausea. It speeds up the emptying of the stomach and helps reduce gas in the gut, says Stephen Hanauer, a professor of gastroenterology at Northwestern University’s Feinberg School of Medicine. Use: Drink ginger ale or ginger tea in small sips or slowly chew sweets made from real ginger (pharmacies and health food stores).
Extra tip: the essential oils and stimulants in ginger have an antibacterial effect. They also promote blood circulation, making it harder for pathogens to settle in the mucous membranes. If you drink two cups of ginger tea a day, you can survive the cold season without catching a cold.
