As defined by herbalists, “Gentian can be considered the
perfect bitter herb to stimulate digestion in numerous ways.
The bitter compounds in Gentian stimulate the bitter taste
buds on the tongue. this sends a message to the brain to
increase bile from the liver, which emulsifies or digests fat. In
a lesser way, the bitter stimulation also sends a message to
increase hydrochloric acid from the stomach, which increases
protein digestion. In other words, bitters stimulate the body’s
ability to digest and therefore assimilate fat and protein. . .”

O
mega-3s shown to ease pain, and sped
healing of oral ulcers. Almost all who
receive high-dose chemotherapy, and most of
those with head and neck malignancies,
develop the complication of oral ulcers, or
mucositis. There are few treatment options. In
this study, 60 men and women, aged 22 to
63, undergoing chemotherapy and
developing grade-1 oral mucositis took a
placebo or 360 mg EPA plus 240 mg DHA
from fish oil, per day. Doctors asked
participants to avoid sour and spicy foods,
and any remedies other than those prescribed
by oncologists.
After 24 hours, those in the omega-3 group
reported significantly less pain compared to
placebo. After one week, while the placebo
group had not improved, symptoms were
significantly lower in those taking omega-3s,
including less irritation of the oral cavity and
throat. After two weeks, with little change for
placebo, the omega-3 group had no signs of
mucositis. Those taking omega-3 also
reported better general health, quality of life,
the ability to eat, sleep, speak, brush teeth,
and that they were satisfied with the omega-3
treatment.

Another study confirmed that ginger
reduced nausea during chemotherapy. Earlier
studies of nausea in pregnancy or after
surgery found a ginger benefit, but results
from prior chemotherapy-ginger studies were
inconsistent. In this study, 51 people
undergoing moderate to high-dose
chemotherapy took a placebo or 300 mg of
ginger extract four times per day with meals.
Over several chemotherapy cycles, while
the placebo group did not improve, those
taking ginger extract reported significantly
better quality of life, including less nausea,
vomiting, and fatigue.
