I get mine at Trader Joes. or World Market

am a ginger lover and these candies are pretty good because they are gingery but sweet. Someone from a mother's group had commented on eating them when they were pregnant to ease nausea. Ginger is supposed to help. The only thing I really don't like about them is that they are really chewy and stick to your teeth.


Ginger and Indigestion
"I use fresh ginger every morning when I get up. I had major surgery about 13 years ago and part of my intestines were removed because they had been knotted up. Ever since then I have been having to learn to work with abnormal indigestion. A while back I read that a century ago a sage in India would eat a small piece of fresh ginger every day when he got up to help his own indigestion. I followed his example and it seems to be the most delightful way to take care of this problem. Many years I took all sorts of chemical as well as natural pills, grains etc, etc. Ginger finally seems to hit the spot." — Ninette S. - Carmel Valley, California

Ginger and Heartburn
"I notice in your health section you don't mention that ginger also helps heartburn. I have some meds I have to take that cause severe heartburn, and was told to try ginger. Tried your Ginger Chews and they are the only thing I can find that actually stop the heartburn. Thank you so much!" — Nancy Delance

Natural remedies for indigestion



Indigestion and heartburn are caused by an increased or decreased secretion of acids and other digestive enzymes in the abdomen.

Symptoms include burning, a feeling of fullness and gaseousness in the abdomen. Reflux esophagitis is the medical name for heartburn. The acid reflux is caused by the flow of gastric juices up the esophagus.


Indigestion and heartburn are usually caused by overeating, obesity, chocolate, fried foods, carbonated beverages, alcohol, coffee, and cigarettes. Eliminating these causes is the first step in preventing occurrences of indigestion. Eat small meals, eat slowly, limit intake of fluid during meals, avoid spicy foods, eat whole-grain carbohydrates such as bread, brown rice, and pasta, and avoid eating fruit with or after meals.


The following remedies for indigestion can be found in health food stores.


Peppermint in tea or tablet form contains menthol and has an antispasmodic effect on the digestive tract. It relieves gas and stomach cramps.


Chamomile in tea or tablet form has antispasmodic, anti-inflammatory and gas-relieving effects.


Slippery elm bark in tea or tablet form helps form a protective coating in the stomach.


DGL (deglycyrrhizinated licorice) is an anti-ulcer agent.


Ginger in tea or tablet form relieves gas and reduces bloating and pain.


Aloe vera gel helps soothe the stomach.


Activated charcoal tablets or capsules are useful for gas pain. Charcoal absorbs medications and should not be taken within two hours of taking any medicine.


To relieve pressure at night, use blocks to raise the head of the bed frame at least 6 inches. This will lessen the pressure on the stomach and prevent stomach contents from moving into the esophagus. Wait a couple of hours after a meal before lying down. Sleep on the left side of the body, the stomach is lower when lying on the left side.


Stress, obesity, and pressure on the stomach can cause indigestion. These causes can be eliminated by participating in regular exercise such as walking, bicycling, swimming, or yoga. Avoid strenuous exercise immediately after a meal.


Aromatherapy can relieve an upset stomach. The following essential herbal oils can be used in an infusion or diluted with almond or olive oil (four drops of herbal oil with an ounce of almond or olive oil) and massaged onto the abdomen:


Peppermint

Marjoram

Fennel

Coriander

Please be aware than the "old folks" used to talk about "so-and-so" who died from indigestion from drinking a Pepsi or something in that general description. All of these people didn't die from indigestion... They most likely had a heart attack. Are you certain you don't need to ask your doctor if this is possible?? Just a thought - Better to be safe than sorry
