Baby Ginger
Here’s an excerpt from a new study finding by the American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology. I would imagine they were thinking of all those women who need C-sections!
A recent study published in the American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology examined the role of ginger in postoperative nausea and vomiting. This meta-analysis looked at numerous studies using ginger versus placebo. Researchers looked at published studies and articles, including bibliographies and contacted authors and experts in the field. After review, five randomized studies were examined that included 363 participants. The results showed that a fixed dose of at least one gram of ginger was more effective than placebo in reducing both postoperative nausea and postoperative vomiting. One side effect was reported, which was abdominal discomfort. The authors concluded that, “Use of ginger is an effective means for reducing postoperative nausea and vomiting.”
