It relieves nausea and is a traditional Ayurvedic remedy to improve digestion. I'm a frequent traveler and I always keep a few ginger candies in my purse at all times, because you never know when nausea, travel sickness, or indigestion will strike. I keep ginger tea in my home for when I have severe nausea, such as when I have the stomach flu or a nasty hangover. You can double up the tea bags to make the tea stronger, just make sure to sip SLOWLY if you are feeling nauseous to prevent yourself from vomiting. The taste is very strong and unpleasant, but in 30-60 minutes, you will have a relief of your symptoms. I also used this when I was pregnant for morning sickness, but because ginger increases your testosterone, I would be wary of using it too much during pregnancy. Please also note that increased testosterone in women can lead to undesirable effects such as acne and increased body hair. Ginger is also a reputed aphrodisiac for men.

Although I have never tasted the real thing it does taste quite nice, only not very fizzy. Maybe I was too afraid the bottle would explode (plastic) and didn't screw the lid on tightly enough. Anyway, are there any benefits in drinking ginger beer? I tried to do a search online but the benefits they talk about are mainly connected to the ginger itself, not the beer. My recipe doesn't use a lot of ginger so I really don't know! And can one keep it?

My family uses the following ways: -Boil a 1 inch piece or a few slices, then add honey and lemon. -Drink 'ginger juice' or 'instant salabat'. (Salabat is a not a brand name, but what the drink is called in the Philippines. ) This is a powdered, hot drink mix that you can find in Asian stores and it gives your throat a nice 'heat'. It has sugar in it, so if you don't want that you could probably mimic the powder by mixing ground ginger with black pepper in hot water.

Ginger is well known for it's calming effect on the stomach. If the esophageal sphincter is doing it's job the reflux doesn't happen and I suspect that it is allowed to function better when the stomach is churning in a calmer manner. I make the tea by putting a few slices of fresh ginger into a thermos and let it steep before taking the first cup.

I suffered from Acid reflux for nine months, tried almost everything, was on NEXIUM too, I did not have chest pain but throat pain, and ginger tea was the most spectacular discovery! Now I drink several glasses of ginger tea daily and the pain is now much much weaker. Nothing I tried before ever made so much difference. Therefore, strongly recommend ginger. I buy a fresh one, peel it off, cut it in small pieces and just spill hot water over it, just like I would do with any other tea. Anyway, that worked out for me. Pain is not completely gone yet (I drink it for three days only) but life became much more bearable since I started. Good luck to all of you!

Fresh ginger, peeled then chopped or grated, any amount; then boiled or boiled water poured over it in a cup. Also, most health food stores and some food stores sell bagged ginger tea to make a cup.

I get nauseous a lot, and I swear by crystallized ginger after eating, especially if I feel bloated or ate too much. In Ayurvedic medicine, 500 year old East Indian medicine, they believe that ginger fires up the internal digestive fire. Ginger is very good for cancer patients and AIDs patients, cause they get nausea a lot.

Sleepless night... tons of money on meds... countless nosebleeds because of all of the nasal sprays... he was miserable and feeling a little desperate. Then, as the last resort, I searched and came across your ginger root remedy. $2.00 for a huge ginger root that I peeled, cut into chunks and steeped for 4 hours in a pot of water with 2 green tea bags. Dan sipped on the surprisingly yummy tea all evening, and for the first time in MONTHS, he\'s completely clear! There wasn\'t a dramatic loss of mucus, but for whatever reason, I believe it shrunk the swollen nasal passages, and for the last 3 nights in a row, he\'s slept ALL night, clear as a bell! He didn\'t even snore! I can\'t even begin to tell you what a HUGE blessing this remendy is for us. I work with a Japanese woman who told me that ginger root also helps digestive issues and menstral cramps. We\'ve decided to make ginger root tea part of our daily routine.

The next day I ahd a very sore throat on one side. It grew worse and my ear on the same side started to ache, as well as my scalp. I associated it with the fishbone... I was afraid that I had picked up an infection from the bone (and of course I\'d Googled this possibility, too!). Not having the time to find a dcotor and have antibiotics prescribed,I started dosing myself with two thin slices of raw ginger every two hours. I also choppped fresh garlic and put salt on it to draw out the juice, then dabbed the juice directly on the little wound in my mouth. Within 16 hours the pain was gone, and the little red spot at the back of my throat has now disappeared (two days later). It could be coincidence, but I\'m pretty convinced that the fresh, raw ginger and garlic with their antibiotic properties cured me." http://www.earthclinic.com/Redirect.php?pageLink=/Remedies/gingertea.html&name=RF_4330 /Remedies/gingertea.rss21 Fri, 18 May 07 00:00:00 -0500 [YEA] Jim from Long Island, New York writes: "I would take a slice of ginger and chew for about 5 minutes.

I made tea by boiling one ginger root, sliced and diced, in some water, added some fresh lemon juice and the peel (how it was done forever in my household) and added honey into my cup. it isn\'t a cure for a cold, but it certainly helps to relieve symptoms. i took the warm ginger remains out of the pot and mashed it up and applied it topically to my wrists and fingers. the pain is substantially alleviated. if you can handle the smell, it is worth a try. this is not a cure for arthritis, but a natural and very healthy way of relieving pain. there is also a link to show studies done by the U of Maryland on ginger and what ailments it helps with. hope this helps. http://www.umm.edu/altmed/ConsHerbs/Gingerch.html" http://www.earthclinic.com/Redirect.php?pageLink=/Remedies/gingertea.html&name=RF_4334 /Remedies/gingertea.rss24 Tue, 20 Mar 07 00:00:00 -0500 [YEA] Katherine from Los Angeles, USA writes: "Arthritis Remedy: Ginger Root/Mint tea. I have found that making tea out of ginger root and mint is more helpful than any capsules. Take about a 1 1/2 inch piece of fresh ginger root, peel and then slice root into mug, add some fresh mint leaves, pour good boiling water over and steep at least 1/2 hour (the longer the better) drink before you retire for the night. This not only helps with the joint pain but has also helped me sleep more sound. The mint is important as it helps the stomach - ginger root tea alone can be a bit difficult if one is no longer 20 . This is an acquired taste. DO NOT get carried away like I did the first week and drink more than one huge mug a night. As my Chinese Dr. friend said \"it is like listerine for the body\". Cleans out the toxins and it is a natural anti inflammatory.
