Ginger has long been used in traditional medicine. Ginger can relieve nausea, vomiting, sore throat, stomach pain, and heartburn due to stomach acid. In fact, the benefits of ginger for stomach acid are said to be not inferior to the efficacy of GERD drugs. Antioxidant substances found in ginger, such as phenolics and flavonoids, are known to relax the muscles in the stomach wall. Thanks to this one effect, ginger can prevent stomach acid from rising into the esophagus.
