Ginger is commonly used to treat various types of "stomach problems," including motion sickness, morning sickness, colic, abdominal pain, gas, diarrhea, nausea due to cancer treatment, nausea and vomiting after surgery, and loss of appetite.

Other uses include pain from arthritis or muscle pain, menstrual pain, upper respiratory tract infections, coughing and bronchitis. Ginger is also sometimes used for chest pain, lower back pain, and abdominal pain.

Ginger has been found to have a gastroprotective effect by blocking acid and suppressing helicobacter pylori. 4 According to a 2007 study, it was also far superior to lansoprazole to prevent ulcer formation, 5 showing six to eight times greater potential for drugs! This may not be too surprising, given the fact that ginger has been traditionally used for gastric disorders since ancient times.

Most people have an acid stomach over time, experienced as a burning sensation under the breastbone, according to The Society of Thoracic Surgeons. Acid reflux occurs when stomach acid rises to the esophagus. Natural treatments such as ginger may be an alternative to prescription or over-the-counter acid reduction to calm stomach acid occasionally.

How to use

In their book "The best choice from the People's Pharmacy," Joe and Teresa Graedon suggest that ginger tea will stimulate the production of saliva and cleanse the acid that has been reflexed into the esophagus. Make your own ginger tea by cutting a 1-inch piece of ginger, removing the skin, and the fresh ginger lattice. Cover with hot water and allow it to steep for a while. Filter out ginger and add lemon or sweetener of your choice. As an alternative, Dr. David Williams, DC, shows 1,000 milligrams of powder or capsule ginger every day.
