I know some board claim ginger root may effective for digestion. But i want to add that peppermint may also be good or even better than ginger. I have noticed that when i chew peppermint gum after a meal, it tends to make me digest food easier. You might want to stack ginger with peppermint for great results. Do a search on peppermint on the web for more info.
Here is a few cut and pastes from the web.
"Peppermint is wonderful for the digestive system. Have you ever wondered why the "after dinner mint" exists? It is known that peppermint helps calm and soothe the digestive system. Many digestive tea blends contain mostly peppermint with blends of other digestive herbs and spices. Traditional Medicinals Eaters Digest tea can be consumed after meals daily. It contains peppermint and other digestive herbs and spices"
"Digestive Herbs, Ginger, Peppermint and Fennel. Latin name and genus: Zingiber officinallis, Mentha piperita, and Foeniculium vulgare. Use the root for ginger, the leaf for peppermint, and the seed for
fennel.
Uses: Relieve gas, digestive cramps, colic, heartburn, nausea, and vomiting. They are also a wonderful aid to digestion. This is where the idea of "after dinner mint" came from.
Few people would think that digestive herbs would make the top ten, but digestive distress is one of the most common reasons people go to hospital emergency rooms. It can lead to diseases such as stomach ulcers, colitis, intestinal bleeding and cause severe lack of nutrient assimilation, which causes all disease. It can also kill.
Emergency internal dosage: For tincture and tea blend use 33% ginger root, 33% peppermint leaf, and 33% fennel seed, although you can use the herbs individually by themselves. For tincture use 1 to 5 dropperfuls mixed with water.
Maintenance dose: 1 dropperful mixed with 2 ounces of water 3 times daily.
Tea: To 16 ounces of water add one of the following herbs or mix. If used by themselves, then use the following amounts: Ginger root, 1 tablespoon fresh or 1 teaspoon dried root and simmer 15 minutes. Fennel seed, 1 tablespoon of seed and simmer 15 minutes. Peppermint leaf, 1 heaping"
