🌿 Ginger Pickle Recipe to Support Stomach Acid & Digestion


 

Looking for a simple, powerful way to support your digestion naturally? This traditional Ginger Pickle recipe is inspired by Asian healing practices that use food as medicine. In both India and Japan, pickled ginger is commonly used to stimulate digestive enzymes and protect the body from harmful microbes—especially when eating raw or heavy foods.

In India, a bit of homemade ginger pickle is often consumed before meals to train the body to secrete adequate stomach acid. In Japan, it’s served with sushi to guard against parasites. Either way, it’s a time-tested, natural remedy that works wonders.

Here’s how to make your own at home:


🌟 Ingredients:

  • 1 full ginger root (about 1.5 times the size of your palm)
    – Peeled and shredded using a carrot shaver or cheese grater
  • Juice of 1 organic lemon
  • 1 teaspoon Himalayan pink salt

🥣 Directions:

  1. Combine the shredded ginger, fresh lemon juice, and pink salt in a clean glass jar.
  2. Mix well, seal the jar, and let it sit at room temperature overnight to allow the flavors to meld.
  3. Store in the refrigerator.

🌿 How to Use:

Take ½ to 1 teaspoon of the ginger pickle before bigger meals, daily, for 2 to 4 weeks.
This helps stimulate stomach acid production, improve digestion, and support your gut lining—especially if you struggle with bloating, gas, or sluggish digestion.


Tip: Always use clean utensils to scoop out your portion to preserve freshness.
