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) |

The ginger family of plants is a tropical group, and the genus Zingiber includes about 85 species of aromatic herbs from East Asia and tropical Australia. Ginger flowers have an aromatic smell, but the root is considered the most useful part of the plant. The odor of Ginger is penetrating and aromatic, its taste spicy hot and biting.

The Chinese name jiang means to defend, suggesting that ginger helps protect the body from cold. Pulverized fresh ginger applied as a poultice to the head two to three times a day was once used as a (Chinese)folk treatment for baldness, and fresh ginger rubbed on the affected area is a folk remedy for virtiligo. The juice squeezed from the fresh root has also been used in the treatment of burns. In modern China ginger is probably used in half of all Chinese herbal prescriptions. | |
Ginger root has traditionally been used in India to treat arthritis. |
|
 Zingiber officinale, ginger 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. |
| |
 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. |
