GINGER TO EXPEL WIND

One of my colleagues suffered a miscarriage yesterday and had to go for a D & C Procedure. The D & C is a minor surgical procedure that enlarge (dilate) the cervix (opening of the uterus) so that an instrument can be inserted into the uterus and scrape (curretage) away and remove the lining of the uterus.
To the Chinese (Malays and Indians too), having a miscarriage will be more harmful to a lady's well-being than giving birth. For some cases, after the first miscarriage a woman’s body has become unbalanced and there is a possibility of a second miscarriage. The Chinese physician would say that the energy becomes very low and there is blood deficiency. Furthermore, wind gets trapped in the body.
Now the 'wind' referred to here is very scary.  It causes much pain and discomfort to the mother who has given birth or miscarried.  If confinement taboos are not followed, then the lady would suffer from weak health  later on in life.
Now one food that can help is ginger. Ginger is believed to be able to help the body release "wind" from the body, thus preventing one from having arthritis problem in old age.
