A cure for an upset stomach…
by TimKou on Sep.03, 2009, under Rantings, Recipes, Remedies
A few minutes ago, my stomach was telling me that it was much less than happy. It was probably just a bit of indigestion or a reaction to the cup of coffee that I had earlier today (I love coffee, but I don’t drink it too regularly anymore).
Either way, I didn’t feel as if it was going to end up very pretty. So, I started trying to think of home remedies that I had on hand that would help me out. I found this:
Pickled Ginger: Ginger is a pretty well recognized remedy for upset stomachs. But finding a pleasant mode of consuming it isn’t always easy. Pickled ginger (which you should be able find in any Asian supermarket) isn’t as potent as straight ginger, and if you put it in a glass jar in the refrigerator, it’ll keep forever. So, keep some on hand.
Tea: I had it with a cup of green tea, which goes really well with the ginger flavor and helps everything settle a little easier.
Anyway, thought I’d share. It worked great! Yes, I took that picture.

Ginger is a life saver. Never had pickled ginger, but ginger cookies are delicious.
