If you are suffering with IBS type of symptoms, I invite you to read my article on IBS here. A snapshot from that article: “IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome) is one of the most common gastrointestinal disorder, which can be resolved with the right Nutritional Therapy protocol. It affects a staggering 10-15% of the global population, mainly in the industrialized countries. IBS is defined by Rome III (classification system for functional gastro-intestinal disorders). It involves recurrent symptoms of abdominal pain, bloating and general discomfort, cramps and change in stool frequency, appearance and form. Before diagnosing IBS, more serious conditions need to be ruled out. These will be inflammatory bowel diseases, like Crohn’s and Ulcerative Colitis, but also cancer and diverticulitis.”
Study:
If you would like to know more about the gastro-protective properties of ginger,
click here. This is from that study: “The rhizomes of Zingiber officinale Roscoe (Zingiberaceae), commonly known as ginger is an important kitchen spice and also possess a myriad health benefits. The rhizomes have been used since antiquity in the various traditional systems of medicine to treat arthritis, rheumatism, sprains. But also, muscular aches, pains, sore throats,
cramps, hypertension,
dementia, fever, infectious diseases, catarrh, nervous diseases. Plus gingivitis, toothache, asthma, stroke and diabetes. Ginger is also used as home remedy and is of immense value in treating various gastric ailments like
constipation, dyspepsia. But also belching,
bloating, gastritis, epigastric discomfort,
gastric ulcerations, indigestion, nausea and vomiting.
Plus scientific studies have validated the ethnomedicinal uses. Ginger is also shown to be effective in preventing gastric ulcers induced by nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs [NSAIDs like indomethacin, aspirin], reserpine, ethanol,
stress (hypothermic and swimming), acetic acid and Helicobacter pylori-induced gastric ulcerations in laboratory animals. Various preclinical and clinical studies have also shown ginger to possess anti-emetic effects against different emetogenic stimuli. However, conflicting reports especially in the prevention of chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting. And motion sickness prevent us from drawing any firm conclusion on its effectiveness as a broad spectrum anti-emetic. Ginger shows to possess free radical scavenging,
antioxidant. Inhibition of lipid peroxidation and that these properties might have contributed to the observed gastroprotective effects. This review summarizes the various gastroprotective effects of ginger.”
