The miracle of ginger

Salam to all,

As per tittle, i would like to tell abit on the usage of ginger that i recently discovered from real experience. I have known the advantages of ginger as part of prophetic medcine and of course science too acknowledge the many advantages of ginger for health. 

Few days ago, both adik and abang out of sudden complaint about stomachache and headache followed by vomitting. The adik started to show the symptom first by suddenly vomitting all over his bed while asleep. ironically the next morning he woke up jumpy and didnt show any sign of illness.But then later at night again he vomit again and i realised that before the event  his tummy looks so bloated. I quickly reckon there is something brewing in adik's body/ stomach and part of the problem seems have to do with his milk. ( he drank his routine milk before sleep ) after that vomitting episode, i gave him another bottle of milk as he was hungry after the stomach content is emptied. But this time i add abit of fresh ginger into the milk. Earlier in the day i watch in the iqraa tv about this medcine from the quran if im not mistaken and the Dr mention something about lactose intolerant and how one who has such problem should drink ginger before and after he drank his milk . I of course cant force a 2 yr old boy to drink ginger tea and also there is no way i can stop him to have his routine milk because i suspected lactose intolerence is happening in his stomach. ( he dislikes lactose free milk including soy milk) So i made tawakkul to Allah to add a piece of ginger in his milk and Alhamdulillah he slept well all the night and throughout the day too as i keep giving him honey drink wit a bit of ginger too in the morning.

Unfortunately the next nite it was abang's turn to start vomiting and he also complaints of stomachache and headache.I gave him the honey mix with ginger drink and zam zam water. The vomitting did not stop but continue until morning after. He then have to stay at home. As he loves his cereal in the morning and was asking for it, i again add a piece of ginger into their milk and cereal and continue  the ginger tea throughout the day and Alhamdulillah no more vomitting episode occur. But abang still complaint about the stomachache and also the headache. I realised he have the stomacache because he cannot pass his gas.( ive heard before that not passing the gas can be the indicator of stomach problem) I rub aginst his stomach the 'minyak kayu putih' oil and Alhamdulillah it helps abit with the bloating of the stomach and the ache.Alhamdulillah the vomitting episode last only 1 nite and he is all good to return to school the next day.

I thought the little adik has also recovered fully but today, i gave him his milk without the ginger and he start to vomit again. After that i gave him a new bottle of milk with ginger and i do hope he will sleep throughout the night peacefully.The stomach doesn't seems to be bloating. I do hope todays episode of vomit is a stress issue as he has been cranky all day when his sleep in the bus was disturb. May Allah heals you my son and protect you always from any harm.

As  conclusion i will recommend ginger in situation of lactose intolerance (vomiting and maybe diarrhea)  if your child is really a full fat milk drinker and cant live without it :) Its a quick solution then having to buy lactose free milk which might end up not being drank by him. If the child is older abit, then ginger drink is good in this situation as it also help if he cant pass his gas and still as a precaution put the ginger in his milk always too. You'll never know and its much easier then having to deal with cleanup of the vomit. I would also recommend 'minyak kayu putih' oil handy to those who are from south east asia as its very  popular as remedy for baby tummy/gas problems.

p/s in my case m myself and i assumed my children develop the lactose intolerence phaps due to somekind of virus attacking them. I might be wrong but im positively sure they cant take any normal milk without vomitting them again. Based on my past experience with almost same incident with abang and still remembering from what the Dr explain and recommend, i concluded that they are experiencing lactose intolerant with their milk for time being. For those who actually been diagnosed with the real lactose intolerance problem, i can only say give the ginger a try and i do hope i did not contradict any physician recommendation.  

much salam
