Ginger and Carom Seeds both have medicinal properties. Both these works well to eaze acid reflux. It was a running joke in our house as my dad used to say “Inji kashayam vachu kudi ellam seriya poidyum”i.e “Drink the ginger essence and every discomfort will go away”
And Omam is another miracle herb that is used in different ways to treat different things.
