For about 5 years,I have had excessive phlegm to the point of coughing, choking, and spitting up.I have tried over the counter and prescription drugs with no improvement. A friend suggested ginger shots. The first time I tried it, I immediately stopped coughing and my throat seemed to open up. The phlegm is greatly reduced. I fix a ginger shot with about 1/2 in. raw ginger rhizome and 1 oz. oran...

I have been taking 2 inch ginger(crunch ginger and add to 1 1/2 cups of boioing water and reduce to 1 cup water) every day morning with 1 tb spoon honey. I felt better with my muscle pain after exercing. But my periods started 4 days early to my regular cycle and mistakenly I took ginger on my first day of periods. This triggered heavy bleeding and my blood platelets reduced to 6 where it should be 8n the range 150 to 200. I have hospitalised and given steroids for 5 days to get the count increasing. *********Never try ginger when you bleed any where in your body. Read More Read Less

I had been drinking a freshly brewed lemon with small slivers of ginger. There was no noticeable difference in the discomfort in my shoulder. Since I drink this home brew as a means of hydration, I continued drinking it. Yesterday day, I decided to chew a sliver of the ginger root. Today, I raised my arm to wash my hair and realized that the stiffness and pain were gone! With this dramatic result, of course I will continue to eat a sliver of ginger frequently.

I have successfully used ginger capsules myself to alleviate nausea while riding in the backseat of a car on a winding country road and while on whale watching expeditions on small vessels in slightly rough water. Ginger was not enough to fully control nausea in rough water at sea, but it did help. I shared my candied ginger with another woman who had been sick for days during an Antarctic cruise. She felt well enough after eating some ginger to go to dinner. I have used commercial ginger capsules of unknown origin, generic powdered ginger, and candied ginger from various vendors. I do not endorse a specific product. Read More Read Less

I have osteo in my lower back. I was in pain every night for 6 months, and physical therapy made the pain worse. I now take 2 grams (2000 mg) daily along with 200 mg hyaluronic acid (doctor's best). Pain is completely gone. This has worked for 2 years so far. If I reduce either supplement, the pain returns. Presumably the hyaluronic cushions the joints and the ginger reduces inflammation. Great stuff.

After one cup of ginger tea I was amazed to find that my migraine symptoms were significantly reduced.Two cups will usually alleviate most of the pain.

I have used ginger for stomach problems and it has worked beautifully. I take verapamil twice a day for a heart problem. I know ginger theoretically reacts to some extent with verapamil (calcium channel blocker), but I haven't experienced any problems so far. I hope I won't in the future either as it is so effective. Also, I gave some to friends suffering from seasickness. They said it worked beautifully.

I stated drinking ginger tea made from ginger root for arthritic inflammation of my hip and lower back. I noticed its benefits on my lower back immediately. My hip pain could be from low cartilage. I was walking bent over, now I'm walking up right. This is from one week usage.

I am a new woman! I have an unknown bone pain disorder thought to be caused by severe vitamin D deficiency. I've had this horrible pain for 11 years and have tried everything and every doctor with no relief. I had a bad case of bronchitis and saw that ginger helps. I juiced a piece of ginger a little bigger than my thumb with a granny smith apple, half a beet and pineapple. I am almost pain free after almost a week!!! It does help bronchitis, but I cannot believe how my pain has subsided!! YAY!!!!Read More Read Less

i have been using neurontin which causes nausea, acid reflux and heartburn. i put a small piece of ginger root in my mouth for about 10 to 15 minutes then chew it. it relieves these symptoms. ginger also works well with congestion. sore throat, stuffy nose, just put a small piece in your mouth. if you buy fresh ginger root and put it in a paper bag in the fridge it will dry and it is always handy when needed. ginger tea with lemon is also a nice treat. also ginger is a great anesthetic for a tooth ache just bite down on a small piece on the tooth bothering you. of course follow up with your dentist to alleviate the cause of the toothache. ginger root is also inexpensive compared to medications one would buy.Read More Read Less

I heard on the Dr. Oz show that 1/2 tsp ginger in hot water twice a day can help with pain. I have lower back pain so I tried it. It worked so well by the 2nd day my back pain so dull and manageable. I would say that the pain was 50% of what it was, but for me that is 90% relief!!!
