Research shows that ginger has a gastroprotective effect by suppressing certain bacteria and blocking acid. A 2007 study found that ginger is six to eight times more efficient than some prescription drugs for preventing ulcers. Make ginger tea by steeping two or three fresh slices of ginger root to two cups of boiling water. Let the ginger steep in hot water for thirty minutes before straining. Drink the tea approximately twenty minutes before eating. Chamomile tea may also provide relief.
