Natural Remedy Gas
Ginger is capable of performing its wonders
because of several different chemical
components it possesses. Two chemicals-ginge
rols and shgaols- relax the intestinal track and
ease any inflammation, while the root act as a
carminative -that is it prevents the formation of
excess gas, or helps expel it.
Directions:
There are several ways to make ginger root tea
but for gas, we liked this one. Get a medium
sized piece of raw ginger root that looks nice
and fresh. Scrub it clean, much like a potato,
under warm water. Slice 4-6 thin quarter sized
pieces and place them in a large mug. Add
honey or lemon if you like, and then pour very
hot water over the slices. Don’t let it boil-turn
off the kettle just before or immediately
afterwards. Cover and steep for 10 minutes
before enjoying. Drink a cup before or after a
meal to help with digestion.
