Nausea
★★★★★
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.
Nausea
★★★★★
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. I've suggested it to many friend and they say it worked for them
Other cures I've used for nausea (they do not have to be used together) are:
a warm hot water bottle, wrapped on my abdomen.
peppermint tea
Good luck

Neck Pain
★★★★★
Visited many osteopaths, chiropractors, etc. over the years that have helped. Been practising Qigong Tai Chi since my early 20's that also help tremendously and because of this do not suffer constantly, but there were many bones broken around the spine in the shoulder area and there is a place in the neck which can be seen on x-rays which is permanently displaced and a sharp pain always comes back at some point.
I've been making sorrel tea (hibiscus) for a while as I love this drink and recently decided to add ginger, which I believe the two together is a popular drink in Jamaica. It's been about 6 weeks I've been drinking with the ginger root and surprisingly the point on my neck that was painful is still there but for the last 4 weeks I haven't suffered any pain, I still feel the area as slightly uncomfortable but no pain, I've never been 4 weeks without pain. So I'm guessing that the anti inflammatory properties of ginger is the reason.
I slice fresh ginger from the supermarket, place in a thermos along with the sorrel and pour boiling water on them, close the thermos and leave overnight. I make this mix quite concentrated, so when I serve it I only add half a cup and then fill the rest of the cup up with hot water. Its delicious and may help those who suffer from pain due to inflamed tissue.
I'm drinking this all day, no side effects noted, only positive pain relief.

EC: Hi, Sonny. We do have a page on turmeric (https://www.earthclinic.com/remedies/turmeric.html), but not much information on using the fresh root! Thanks so much for your feedback.

Turmeric is known to heal internal body. It has been a usual practice among Indian to have a glass of milk mix with turmeric.
Rash
★★★★★
Markel: Ginger has known antibiotic properties, improves circlation, has some blood thinning properties but without the associated side effects like aspirin, and it also has certain anti inflammatory properties. I do not know what yellow ginger is, but the ginger that I used here is only yellow kind and is considered a stimulant and hence can be used for certain kinds of rash for its anti inflammatory properties. As to why a yellow and a brown ginger is different, the only thing I am aware is the yellow ginger is a better skin penetrant and more stronger chemically and hence is more effective against rash. I don't have the brown ginger here locally so I can't make comments on that one.

Sucking on a piece of fresh ginger helps open my nasal passages right up and relieves some chest congestion. I'm told that it's a good antibiotic too. I just don't want to go to the doctor to get prescriptions to do what giner can naturally can do.
