ginger root

[keliska]

has someone experienced with this herbs? I have problem with bloated and water retention...is good for it??

I'm not sure ginger would help for that

Digestive enzymes (bromelain (from pineapples), papain (from papayas) and others) may help

Probiotics also

As for water retention : drink plenty + strong coffee + dandelion root

I didn't have much success with ginger root. However, I take bromelain all the time and it has really helped some of my stomach problems.

I've used ginger root on the dive boat for people who et sea sick and didn't take their sea sick pills soon enough - it works wonderfully for settling an upset stomach and also helps for digestion, for example, if you get stomach aches from protein mix. I've never really noticed that it did anything for water retention or bloat.

Dandelion Root is great for water retention and bloat. Definitely try it out.
