Why people say it works
Chamomile has traditionally been used to calm the digestive tract, while ginger has been studied for its role in supporting healthy digestion and easing nausea. Together, they're a gentle, warming combination for the discomfort that follows a heavy or spicy meal.
This is a traditional home remedy, not a medical treatment. If reflux is frequent or severe, talk to your doctor, since it can sometimes signal something that needs proper evaluation.
