Explanation
Ginger is a natural remedy that has been studied for its ability to help with nausea. Research shows that ginger can help reduce nausea caused by motion sickness and after surgery. In one study, ginger was found to have a positive effect on motion sickness by helping with stomach movements. Another study found that ginger was effective in reducing nausea after surgery.
