Ginger treats dyspepsia
Dyspepsia is also known as indigestion is a disorder of digestive function which is characterized by recurrent discomfort and pain in the upper part of the stomach. Dyspepsia is as a result of very slow gastric emptying and ginger helps to speed up emptying of the stomach. Alongside this, it also helps to absorb minerals and nutrients from the food we eat. Ginger’s great ability to stimulate appetite is the reason this root is being used as an appetizer or aperitif to prepare the digestive system for an inflow of food. Taking 1.2 grams of ginger powder before a meal will quicken gastric emptying. [5]
