Alternatives to Traditional Prokinetic Agents

Messages

Hi,

I have a question about natural (non prescription) prokinetic agents. I'm aware of the following, some of which my daughter has tried:
  • Ginger
  • Peppermint oil - we're aware of this, but peppermint doesn't agree with her
  • Triphala (link for more info)
  • Other indirect approaches, including acupuncture, fermented foods, digestive/pancreatic enzymes, sauna, yoga
Has anyone had any experiences, good or bad, with either the ones listed above or others? Is anyone aware of other natural prokinetic agents?

Sincerely,
Scotty81
