Ginger

So i’m a big fan of Naturopathic medicine. I suffer from a chronic pain condition in my intestinal track, caused, at least in part, by a Helicobacter pylori infection (which has relatively recently caused an ulcer).

When my infection was finally diagnosed (it took almost 2 years), my GP prescribed a pile of pills that make you sick and can cause some form of collitis, and generally have the potential to make your problem worse or just make you miserable while you’re being treated. As an alternative (or, failing that, adjunctive) therapy, my Naturopath prescribed ginger, cabbage, and liquorice root.

And that’s why I prefer Naturopathy.
