Answers.Body: <p>I've been having constant digestive issues for a few years now. Nausea whenever I eat, especially if the meal contains protein or fats.  I take ginger,  hydrochloric acid,  fennel,  and digestive enzymes at every meal to help,  but I still get nauseous constantly.... I also get constipated very easily.  My grandfather is from Germany, and recently told me to drink a small amount of Jagermeister with my meals to help with my digestion....now, I used to work as a Vitamin &amp; supplement supervisor and learned quite a bit about herbal remedies,  so I have been aware of the benefits of licorice,  but I did not expect the results from the Jager to be significant.  I have been incredibly surprised at how well the Jagermeister has been helping! My stomach is emptying faster, as well as my bowels moving more frequently.  I am grateful and excited to be feeling so much better! Thank you grandpa,  for reminding me that Jager had been used in the old days as such a beneficial health tonic.  A little bit at the beginning of every meal has worked wonders for me :)</p>

  <p>Jägermeister and other herbal liqueurs do contain herbal essences that probably have some effect on your body.

  <p>So from a medicinal point of view: stay away from digestifs and stop eating too much so you won't need any digestion-helper.</p>
