Ginger has been used as a spicy flavoring for many foods, as a candy...even as a soft drink. Its benefits as an herb are equally diverse. Well known for treatment of appetite and indigestion, Ginger has also been used for motion sickness, arthritis, nausea, vomiting, chest congestion and asthma, though, some of these uses aren't clinical, but common practice. Find out more from these best-selling books on the health benefits of ginger. Among the many beneficial chemicals in Ginger root are, B-Complex Vitamins, Iron, Magnesium, Selenium, and Vitamin C.
No toxic side effects have been associated with Ginger in doses up to 5 grams daily. Do not take above recommended dosage (on package) if you're using blood thinning drugs or are pregnant or nursing...best to avoid altogether or seek doctor's advice.
For most conditions, no more than 2 grams (about 1/2-1 level teaspoon) per day of bulk raw ginger is helpful. You can get inexpensive raw ginger root in most produce and grocery stores, or in tablet, powder, capsule or liquid forms. The best ways to supplement with Ginger root are to grate it and add as a spice to your food, or to make a tea (about 1/4-1/2 teaspoon grated and steeped in a cup hot water for about 5 minutes). Here are some of the top sources for ginger supplements. Because potency varies, follow package directions for supplements.
