Ginger Root - Editor's Choice

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.

About a month ago I got fed up with this and decided that I'm going to throw the pills away and that this issue would just have to resolve itself. That same week I got a cold and my sister told me that I should try drinking ginger tea as this helps. I decided to give it a try and to my surprise it cured my cold and my IBS all at once! I haven't had a laxative in more than a month and not a day has passed that I haven't had a normal bowel movement. It's simply amazing. I have made ginger a part of my daily life now. I cut up a few pieces of ginger and boil it in water for a few minutes - You can drink it just like that, or to make it a tasty cup of tea I add a cinnamon stick, some honey and a bag of earl grey tea. I don't drink it with milk at all and it's delicious. I definitely recommend everybody to try it, as it literally helps for everything! It has so many health benefits. This is only one of them! Saved-by-ginger!

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

My husband has had terrible sinus congestion for months! Because it felt as though he had some sort of barrier in his left nostril, even his CPAP machine wasn't allowing him to breathe. 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. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!!
