Gastrointestinal issues, including flatulence and abdominal bloating, can result from poor gastric or intestinal transit of food.1 Ginger contains oleoresin, which is responsible for its pungent odor.2 The components of this resin, including shogaols, gingerols, and zingerone, can bind to receptors on endocrine cells in the gastrointestinal tract and pancreas.2 This results in increased gastric and biliary secretion, gastric motility, and gastric emptying.2 Pancreatic digestive enzymes are increasingly released, which decreases transit time in the intestines and helps relieve digestive issues.2 Ginger also increases blood flow to the mucosal layer of the stomach and inhibits serotonin receptors, which are responsible for mediating nausea. Wormwood oil contains absinthin, an extremely bitter compound.3 Similar to pungent ginger, bitter compounds can bind to receptors on endocrine cells in the gastrointestinal tract and pancreas, synergistically enhancing gastric secretion, motility, and pancreatic digestion.2 REFERENCES 1.
