Did Your Mother Ever Give You Ginger Ale For an Upset Stomach When You Were a Child?<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Watching NY1 one morning on Spectrum, I was interested to see that during Pat Kernan’s \u2018In The Papers\u2019 segment, he referenced a story on soda settling your stomach. He mentioned that when he was a kid, his mother used to give him soda – ginger ale specifically – to settle his stomach when it was upset.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The reason many mums give their kids ginger ale when their stomach is upset is that it\u2019s an easy way for kids to consume ginger. When Pat Kernans was a child, ginger ale contained real ginger. These days many of the commercial brands you find in supermarkets use flavourings or powders to get that same taste.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

If you have ever tried to eat ginger raw, you know you would have to force that down a childs throat. It’s not a pleasant taste in the raw form as it’s so strong. However, in a sweet beverage, like ginger ale, kids will guzzle it down.<\/span><\/p>\n\n

Why Does Ginger Help an Upset Stomach?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n

Ginger ale is the palatable form of ginger. But, why would ginger help if you have an upset stomach?<\/p>\n

For thousands of years, ginger has been used as a natural remedy across cultures in South Asia. But, ginger is a rare natural remedy in the fact that it earns respect from doctors. Many scientific studies have been done on ginger and it has been found to have a positive effect on a range of illnesses<\/a>. If you suffer from arthritis, immunity, colic, heart problems, or the common cold, a quick ginger beverage (that includes real ginger) could help these issues improve.<\/p>\n\n

\u00a0<\/h4>\n

Can Ginger Ale Still Help Me Settle My Stomach?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n

Ginger ale is often not made with real ginger. As pharmaceutical science has developed when we get upset stomachs these days we can quickly find over the counter medicine to help instead. But that doesn\u2019t mean natural remedies aren\u2019t available.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n

You always have the option to make it yourself. If you still wish to have a real homemade Ginger Ale, it’s very easily made.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n

    \n
  1. Boil water\u00a0<\/li>\n
  2. Slice up fresh ginger<\/li>\n
  3. Drop the ginger to the boiling water<\/li>\n
  4. Let it boil for 10 minutes<\/li>\n
  5. Let it soak for a couple of hours<\/li>\n
  6. Add some raw honey to taste<\/li>\n
  7. Mix to get the honey to dissolve<\/li>\n
  8. Add ice and serve.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
