REMEDY FOR NAUSEA OF ANY ORIGIN NAMED

Doctor reveals unique ability of ginger to instantly eliminate nausea of any origin

"The most pronounced property of ginger is its ability to effectively combat nausea of various origins. The active components of the root – gingerols and shogaols – act on the receptors of the gastrointestinal tract and the chemoreceptor trigger zone of the brain, gently blocking the vomiting reflex. This makes it an indispensable aid for motion sickness, first-trimester pregnancy toxicosis (after consultation with a doctor), and for alleviating the condition after chemotherapy," explained therapist Sergey Iskovskikh in a conversation with "Gazeta.Ru".

Equally significant is the metabolic influence of ginger. Regular consumption helps increase cellular sensitivity to insulin, which helps maintain stable blood glucose levels.

"Simultaneously, its beneficial effect on the lipid profile is noted – ginger demonstrates the ability to reduce low-density lipoprotein levels, exerting a comprehensive positive impact on cardiometabolic health. The immunomodulatory properties of the root deserve special attention. Working as a natural adaptogen, ginger stimulates the phagocytic activity of immune cells and increases the production of antimicrobial peptides. Its systematic use during the cold season helps create a more reliable protective barrier for the body against respiratory pathogens," the doctor noted.

For maximum preservation of beneficial qualities, preference should be given to fresh root. Thin ginger shavings added to hot water for infusion is the optimal preparation method. Pickled ginger, despite its popularity, contains significant amounts of vinegar and sugar, which substantially reduces its therapeutic value.

"It's important to understand: ginger is a biologically active substance with pronounced effects. It is not recommended for use in acute peptic ulcer disease, gallstone disease, and when simultaneously taking anticoagulants – blood-thinning medications. If you have chronic diseases, consultation with a specialist before starting regular consumption is mandatory," warned Iskovskikh.
