Ginger- Deals With Poor Digestion

Ginger helps to deal with poor digestion. This herb stimulates the digestive secretions and helps increase blood flow to the stomach and intestines.

Ginger increases circulation and is often helpful for people who feel chilly and suffer from excess gas and bloating.

Fresh ginger can be added to your diet or if you prefer you can get ginger tea and drink one to two cups daily.

Radishes are also known to be good in aiding the digestion and helps in fat digestion.

Natural Constipation Remedies

Constipation is a very uncomfortable feeling and when the stools become hard and dry it makes it worse to try and eliminate them. Constipation is caused by loss of enough the muscle contractions that help to move food through the digestive system.

When constipation occurs it is due to undigested food that moves too slowly in the large intestines and stops the body’s process to  empty the bowels. The stools build up and remains in contact with the intestines which absorbs the extra water drying out the stool.

Bloating, gas, and discomfort sets in. There are a few natural remedies that you can do to help get yourself going. Warm water usually triggers the muscles to contract and helps stimulate the bowels.

There are herbs that are known as “alterative herbs”( that restore your bowels to a normal health) that can be effective in relieving cases of chronic constipation. The dried roots of yellow dock, dandelion, burdock root, and Oregon grape. These herbs are bitter, but when consumed, they can promote digestion, stomach acidity, and bile flow.

You can purchase these herbs in tincture form and use 1 dropper 3-7 times a day.

Flaxseed provides fiber with essential oils that help to lubricate and soften the stools.

Figs also provide fiber and aids in digestion.

As always, check with your doctor before using any herbal tinctures or supplements.

Ginger’s Health Benefits


Ginger is one of the most important digestive herbs in the world and has many health benefits. It can be used for a nauseous stomach, morning sickness, motion sickness, and other intestinal problems.
Ginger is a good remedy for patients who are going through chemotherapy by helping with stomach discomfort and nausea.  This herb can ease stomach upset because ginger has a  warming and blood moving effect that are helpful for people with poor circulation.

Drinking ginger tea with a splash of lemon can help flush out inflammation triggering toxins, reducing joint aches, and also as an extra bonus can trim up to four pounds of trapped fluid in our body, an easy way to lose that excess fluid.

Just drink daily three cups of ginger tea with a little lemon and soon you will see and feel the results.
Ginger can be taken in extract form, capsules, or tea. I personally have experienced the results from drinking ginger tea.

The Benefits of Cayenne Pepper

Benefits of Cayenne Pepper            

The red pepper or cayenne is a small perennial shrub that is a native of South America, or any other warm of the world. This plant has white flowers, then green, and then 

eventually red or yellow pods.

Cayenne can be taken in capsules, extract form, or powder by just sprinkling it over 

your food, just go with a light hand unless you can take the heat.

The benefits of taking cayenne are very effective for treating a cold, poor circulation,

 or a weak digestion. In some of the tropical climates cayenne when taken actually

 cools the body by promoting sweating.

The health benefits are many, there are prescription creams and liniments that can

 treat be shingles, arthritis, carpal tunnel syndrome, and even sore muscles. The

 reason it is so effective is that there is an active ingredient called “capsaicin” which

 effectively blocks the transmission of the pain impulse in the body.

The burning sensation that you may feel after ingesting cayenne is normal and won’t

 hurt you, and in fact, cayenne can help heal an ulcer rather than aggravate it.
