Résumé

Largement employé dans la cuisine indo-asiatique pour ses qualités tant gustatives que facilitatrices de la digestion, le gingembre est aussi une épice médicinale aux multiples propriétés. De nombreuses publications s’accumulent pour étayer sa propriété antiémétique alléguée traditionnellement. Le gingembre pourrait donc représenter le traitement naturel de référence de la nausée, sans risque et à peu de frais.
