  • Ginger & Honey Remedy for Digestion

A traditional Ayurvedic remedy using ginger and honey to improve digestion, reduce bloating, and relieve gas.

Thu, Aug 21, 2025

Ginger and honey have been widely used in Ayurveda for centuries to stimulate digestive fire (Agni), relieve gas, reduce bloating, and treat indigestion. Ginger helps warm and activate the digestive system, while honey assists in soothing the stomach and improving metabolism. Together, they form a gentle and effective home remedy for promoting smoother digestion and reducing discomfort after meals.
