What is cordial medicine?

Cordial medicine, also known as digestive cordial, is a type of herbal medicine that is typically taken after meals to improve digestion and relieve digestive discomforts such as bloating, gas, nausea, and abdominal pain. It is usually made from herbs and natural substances that are traditionally known to have digestive benefits, such as ginger, fennel, chamomile, peppermint, and anise. Cordial medicine is commonly available in liquid form and can be mixed with water or other beverages to make it easier to consume.
