Indigestion, bloating, and appetite loss are among the most prevalent problems that a lot of individuals encounter. Ginger is well-known for its medicinal qualities and has long been praised as a cure-all for a wide range of illnesses, most notably digestive issues. Ginger, which has a unique spicy flavour, is high in gingerol, a bioactive compound that has digestive, anti-inflammatory, and anti-nausea properties.

In an Instagram post, nutritionist Leema Mahajan shares one such ginger marinate remedy that can be prepared at home and kept in a jar.

She writes, “Indigestion is the main reason for bloating, and ginger can help you get relief from it and improve appetite. It also has antispasmodic (helps deal with pain due to gas movement) properties, improves digestive issues, and reduces excess waste.”

Ingredients: Thinly sliced 2-inch ginger; 1 tbsp lemon juice; pinch of rock salt

Method: Put everything in a jar and let it marinate. Have a slice or two 15 minutes before lunch or dinner. However, do not take this before breakfast.

Avoid taking if: Experiencing bleeding of any kind - a nosebleed, menstruation, or blood in your stool or urine. Any kind of burning sensations on the skin, burning headaches, or excessive body heat.
