According to Real Simple magazine, the ginger root in gingerbread . . .
. . . can aid in digestion (soothing stomach aches),
. . . help with menstrual cramps and morning sickness,
. . . can relieve nausea associated with motion sickness,
. . . and can even assist some with heartburn.
So enjoy your gingerbread this season — but in moderation, of course!
