Tip: Ginger for Gas Pains!

May 22nd, 2009 · No Comments

Many vata people know what it’s like to be doubled over in pain from gas or bloating (vata’s main seat is in the colon). Others can get it from time to time as well, but no more! My friends, please keep ginger root on hand (America’s Test Kitchen says it keeps best in the fridge). When you get the awful bloating pains, just chop off a piece the size of your baby finger nail, and chew it up. It tastes a little like window cleaner but that’s nothin compared to piercing pains in your lower gut. You can sprinkle some salt to cut the sharpness if you want. But VOILA! Your pain will TOTALLY go away!! I super promise! Please try it next time and then give me a big, “woohoo!” when it works!
