Ginger tea for :Morning sickness |
|
Hot ginger tea served with lemon and honey is a delicious way to treat morning sickness. Although there are warnings in Chinese medicine about the use of ginger during pregnancy, used in moderation (the equivalent of 2 teaspoons, or 1 gram, two to three times per day) poses no risk to the health of the mother or developing baby. Recent studies indicate that eating as much as 2 to 3 tablespoons of raw ginger or 5 to 8 table-spoons of cooked ginger (15 or 40 grams, respectively) daily will not stimulate uterine contractions. If this is a concern for you, consider using Cardamom instead Phyllis A. Balch, Prescription for Herbal Healing (2002) |

Zingiber officinale has been cultivated for so long that its exact origin is unclear. Used for a millenia in both China and India, it reached the West at least two thousand years ago. The Spanish conquistadors brought ginger from Spain, and it was established as a commercial crop in Jamaica. |

To ease arthritis pain, drink a cup of ginger tea daily, brewed with one half to one teaspoon of fresh ground root. Available at most grocery stores, choose roots that have smooth skins, and freeze sliced ginger to keep fresh. |
