Easy solutions- ginger and stomach upset It is nice to know that extremely powerful medicines are available just in case of they are needed. However, most discomforts if handled in the early stages can be treated with very simple kitchen medicines.
For example, for many cases of stomach upset and pain, a ginger tea is very effective for helping with nausea and vomiting. It is cheap, simple and readily available. If it doesn't work for a particular upset stomach, then you can always turn to the more powerful (and more dangerous solutions.) If you use fresh ginger just grate a piece about 1/4 to 1/2 inch and steep in hot water, strain and drink. Or you can try nibbling on a small piece of sugared ginger.
There is a old adage, "Don't go hunting mice with an elephant gun." Much medical treatment(i.e. drug treatment) uses "elephant guns to hunt mice."
In a hot climate like ours, people tend to try to cool themselves off on a hot day with a cold beer or soda so ironically there are quite a few abdominal problems causes by cold. A ginger tea can usually help by warming and calming the stomach and abdomen.
If ginger tea does not take care of the upset, there are many traditional herbal formulas available at our clinic. |
