Who would of thought that Allie getting car sick would turn out to be a wonderful discovery for me. When Allie was younger I could not take her anywhere in the car without her throwing up. After some research I discovered that Ginger is perfect for dogs. I would give her a couple of tablets before we traveled and there would be no messes. I though hey if it works on her why wouldn’t it work on me when my stomach is upset. It was the best discovery. My only drawback is that I can not take it before I go to sleep.

Some of the benefits of Ginger are:

• Helps digest fatty foods and breaks down proteins
• Reduces gas
• Relieves nausea (morning sickness and motion sickness)
• Helps neutralize the acids that cause nausea, cramps and even diarrhea
• Reduces inflammation (Is used to help treat arthritis & ulcerative colitis)

Recent studies have even suggested that is has a role in lowering LDL cholesterol because it helps reduce the amount of cholesterol the body absorbs.

Ginger is a warming herb. It helps stimulate circulation of the blood and helps relax muscles around the blood vessels and is said to help prevent blood clots from forming. The warming effects make it a natural decongestant as well as an antihistamine, making it the perfect remedy for colds.
