The flavor of ginger is familiar to many, but this plant has much more qualities than a mere satisfaction of your taste receptors. As a matter of fact, it is a wonderful plant that helps us to stay healthy and fights infections and various illnesses. Whereas chewing ginger is not too delicious, but daily moderate amounts of it added into your meals can make wonders to your body and improve your general wellbeing.
It takes time for some people to get used to its flavor, but after mixing tiny amounts of it into your souses you might get accustomed to its refreshing and specific taste. If this approach does not work, you can take it in the form of natural food supplement sold in pharmacies or supermarkets.
Wonderful information the new year!
Thank you very much for your comment Debrah!
I used it during chemotherapy, for nausea.

Sorry to hear you had to go through that too .i mix the ginger root with tumeric root it does wonders for achy muscles and joints .now i have also added ground cloves to the healing process you have to take black pepper with tumeric to activate it .the arthritis and joint pain are greatly reduced .getting back to the cancer i went to dana farber .they saved my life .my doctor told me the people that gain weight are the people that survive well i went in at 120 lbs and when i hit my 5 year healthy mark i was 192 .i took muscletech creatine and weigh protein i bought from gnc .

Ginger helps calm my hot flashes and eliminated my acid reflux! I buy crystallized ginger in 11 lb box from Reeds & we keep it out in a candy dish & snack on it daily. My husband used it through his 3 1/2 years of terminal cancer. (I don’t think he ever threw up & he had a weak stomach) *3 transplants & continuous chemo
Glad to hear this! How much should I be using for my Acid Reflux? It of course comes into action right before bed so any help would be greatly appreciated!
What are the benefits of ginger?
Pros
Small doses of ginger may relieve gastrointestinal irritation.
Ginger can reduce the likelihood of stomach acid flowing up into the esophagus.
Ginger can also reduce inflammation. This may relieve symptoms of acid reflux.
The most important thing to remember is to take ginger in moderation. Sticking to around four grams — a bit less than an eighth of a cup — should be enough to give you some relief without making symptoms worse. You can also split this up and take divided doses throughout the day.
1 teaspoon of baking soda in a 3 or4 oz glass of hot tap watter stir until desolved and drink in 1 sip .taste isnt the best but it is gone almost instantly .worked great on me for years .it doesnt cure anything just relieves the simtoms .if ginger is helping heal this issue do that too.mine was caused by hpilori virus .swimming and drinking well watter not properly filtered causes this .your doctor may want to give you a z pack to kill this comonly overlooked virus if you have it .best of luck i am healed now but kemo killed mine .
I might try this remedie next month to see it would help me healthy and help me lose weight?

When I was a child my mom always gave me ginger root tea.when I have the menstruation pain,when I have stomach pain,at puerto rico.this help you too getting skinny.no fat .the ginger is the best.is really good.i recommended it for everyone. Betty.l
I usually see ginger at the grocery stores but didn’t like it because of its ugly shape.So did not pay attention to it.Well,I started taking ginger with lemon and garlic in warm – hot water when I developed the symptoms of sore throat, coughing, abdominal pain.
Sometimes I will chew it but don’t like the taste.Then take tylenol when I had fever.Boosting my immune system with all the needed vitamins A,D,C,and zinc. Slept 7 – 8hours a day.
I am not sure if it has any effect since social distancing is the order of the day for me.I am feeling better.
What else does ginger help with health wise .
I suffer from Thyroid Disease .
Which fruit is good for thyroid?
Soy foods: tofu, tempeh, edamame, etc. certain vegetables: cabbage, broccoli, kale, cauliflower, spinach, etc. fruits and starchy plants: sweet potatoes, cassava, peaches, strawberries, etc. nuts and seeds: millet, pine nuts, peanuts, etc
Ginger is all I use to keep my prostate under control. I drink Canada Dry ginger ale with a dash of Pomegranate juice and Water or Cock and Bull ginger beer with pomegranate juice and water every day. Sometimes I will chop up some ginger root into thin slices and pour boiling water over it and then add fresh lemon juice and let it draw for a while and then add some honey, stir and drink for a very refreshing tea. I have had no problems with my prostate for years now as long as I have ginger in some form or other every day.
A lot cheaper and more effective than all these snake oil prostate pills they try to sell you in the shops and over the internet.

I was diagnosed with high blood pressure over 10 years ago, after the bp pills made me feel like a walking zombie I started taking ginger root pills 2 in the morning and 2 in the evening, my blood pressure has been under control since!!!
One important thing : Please don’t forget to remove top skin of ginger (just scrap it out) before using it. Ginger should not be used with skin.
In Indian cuisine ginger is almost regular and is added in most of the vegetarian preparations too, for its medicinal qualities and also for flavoring. Of course, ginger tea is quite popular.
I have prostate problems can you tell me if ginger root is good and how often a day should I take and how much

I was diagnosed with Prostate Cancer, luckily the Cancer was on the outside, but didn’t spread..
I started drinking 5 cups of Green tea every day without milk and sugar.After 2 years my PSA went down from 8 to 5.Last year it now 0.01.I have a blood test every year.
Green tea has Antioxidants and Anti cancer properties.I become addicted to Green tea after a holiday in China.It is also good for Gum infeetion.Three cups a day is adequate..
I enjoy ginger almost every day, putting it in my sauce and soup to give them a very wonderful taste. Its medicinal qualities are unparalleled. It has almost eliminated my arthritis pains.
