Is it okay to eat ginger when having stomach problems?

Stomach problems bother many people, so the conditioning and maintenance of the stomach and intestines must also be taken seriously. Patients with stomach problems should pay attention to a scientific diet in their daily diet. Ginger actually has a certain effect on relieving stomach pain and can be consumed appropriately, but the principle of moderation should also be observed.

It enters the meridians to help the spleen and benefit the meridians, and has the effects of sweating, relieving exterior symptoms, warming the middle and dispersing cold. Therefore, eating ginger can relieve stomach pain. Not all patients with stomach pain can eat ginger to relieve pain. For example, patients with gastric ulcer should not eat ginger, because ginger is a spicy food. If consumed for a long time, it will aggravate the symptoms of yin deficiency and hyperactivity of fire, red eyes and internal heat. It should be said that if the stomach pain is caused by stomach cold, eating ginger can play a good preventive and therapeutic role, but if the pain is caused by stomach heat, it will aggravate the condition.

If you find it difficult to tolerate the spicy taste of ginger slices when you put them directly in your mouth, cut the ginger into thin strips and use it as a condiment. For example, if you put it in soup, porridge, or rice, the unique aroma of ginger plus the aroma of the dishes can be combined, and the effect is quite good.
