Ginger
Ginger, the Zingiber officinale rhizome used worldwide as a spice, has a long history of therapeutic usage that motivates researchers to evaluate its possible possibilities as an adjuvant treatment or alternative medicine in various conditions. Many scientific studies have proven the anti‐inflammatory, antioxidant, antitumor, and antiulcer effects of ginger. In addition, some of the ancient applications of ginger as a home remedy has been confirmed in human.
Gingerol, a natural constituent of ginger root, promotes gastrointestinal motility, the pace at which food leaves the stomach and proceeds through the digestive process. Aside from that, it supports effective digestion and boosts gut health by moderating the makeup of gut bacteria. Ginger is often regarded as efficient as aspirin and ibuprofen in reducing inflammation and stimulating digestion and gut motility. It also has antibacterial properties that inhibit the growth of microorganisms typically associated with leaky gut or gastrointestinal illness.
On top of that, ginger tea, supplements, and powder are already popularly marketed. However, it is recommended to contact a medical professional before using any anticoagulant therapy or medicine since they may have undesirable side effects.
