Ginger Proven to Ease Nausea in Pregnancy and Chemo
Ginger, a popular spice and traditional remedy, has shown promise in easing nausea, according to recent studies. This versatile root, with few side effects, offers a valuable therapeutic option for various types of nausea.
Pregnant women, who often suffer from morning sickness, found relief by consuming 500mg to 1,500mg of ginger supplements daily. Doctors recommend these supplements due to their consistent dosing and better tolerance compared to raw ginger or ginger-infused foods and drinks.
Research suggests that high-dose ginger concentrate, pure ginger, and candied ginger are the most effective forms for treating nausea. However, the evidence is limited, and effects may depend on the form of intake. Ginger supplements may also help speed up stomach emptying, potentially easing symptoms.
A small study found that ginger could alleviate symptoms of functional dyspepsia, a type of chronic indigestion. Additionally, adults undergoing chemotherapy experienced less nausea when consuming 1,200mg of ginger root powder daily.
Ginger, with its potential to block nausea-related pathways and speed up stomach emptying, offers a safe and effective remedy for various types of nausea. However, those taking certain medications should consult a doctor before consuming it regularly. As one of the best-selling dietary supplements in the United States, ginger's popularity as a digestive aid continues to grow, backed by scientific evidence.
