Ginger is always a key ingredient in dietary remedies for stomach ailments! A kind-hearted netizen (username: Zizhu, QQ: 625733198): Teacher Hu, when my mother was young, she would suffer from severe stomach pain whenever she caught a chill. Due to limited medical resources at the time, she never got a proper diagnosis to determine whether it was gastritis or a stomach ulcer. One day, a traveler was stranded late at night with no place to stay and nothing to eat. My mother, being a compassionate person, not only offered him a meal but also let him stay at our house. At that time, my mother was experiencing a stomach ailment, and the traveler immediately shared a dietary remedy with her: nine pounds of brown sugar, three pounds of ginger (juiced), and one and a half pounds of lard. These ingredients were to be cooked in three batches, meaning each batch would consist of three pounds of brown sugar, half a pound of lard, and one pound of ginger juice. The three ingredients were to be simmered together in a pot with an appropriate amount of water. Then, one tablespoon of the mixture was to be taken 15 minutes before each meal, three times a day. At the time, our family was poor, and it seems my mother only took the remedy twice, but her stomach ailment never recurred. I was deeply moved by your spirit of generosity and have shared many of your folk remedies. I’ve been meaning to tell you about this for a while, but I wasn’t sure whether it was gastritis or a stomach ulcer. However, I thought, whether it’s gastritis or a stomach ulcer, since this isn’t a medication but a dietary remedy, it might be helpful to share it through your platform, potentially benefiting many people.
