Dependable anti-nausea therapy

Historically, Sunthi (Ginger/Zingiber officinale) has been used in Ayurveda as a digestive aid. Its fresh, pungent flavor makes it an essential ingredient in Asian cuisines.

The root of the herb has been used in Chinese medicine for thousands of years and is known to be greatly beneficial in reducing nausea and upset stomachs. It was used in Greek culture for making breads, the predecessor of the gingerbread we enjoy today.

In a published report on children, researchers at the Goryeb Children’s Hospital in Morristown, New Jersey, listed Sunthi among the ‘novel approaches’ they suggest for assisting children with normal levels of abdominal discomfort and normal fullness (Current Gastroenterology Report. December 2007, 9(6):447-55).

Scientists at the Department of Complementary and Alternative Medicine, John A. Burns School of Medicine, University of Hawaii, noted Sunthi’s use in supporting the body’s natural response to nausea, calling it a herb that integrates East with West and old with new, enjoying a reputation as an ‘universal remedy’ (Hawaii Medical Journal. December 2007, 66(12):326-7).
