Ginger
A potent natural antioxidant, ginger supports digestive health by stimulating salivary and gastric secretions, enshancing intestinal motility through active gingerols, and helping reduce nausea. Its anti-inflammatory and pro-digestive properties contribute to a balanced and efficient gastrointestinal system.
Canine Ginger Study
A study explored how ginger can help dogs cope with nausea caused by certain medications. Researchers gave different types of ginger extracts to dogs experiencing vomiting after receiving cisplatin, a common chemotherapy drug. The results showed that some forms of ginger, especially acetone and ethanolic extracts, were effective in reducing nausea and vomiting. While not as strong as prescription drugs, ginger still showed real promise as a natural way to support digestive comfort. This research suggests that ginger could be a helpful, gentle addition to a dog’s wellness routine, especially during times of digestive upset or stress.
