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 started taking ginger tea for sever pain in my knee. I grind the ginger (palm size) and simmer it with raw barley (2 tbsp) and 1/4 tsp of stevia powder for about half an hour. I drink this throughout the day (about 3 cups). After about 2 weeks, I went to the zoo with my granddaughters and walked around for nearly 4 hours and my knee was painless and also I didn't feel tired at all. I suffered from high blood pressure, slightly enlarged heart and slight high cholesterol for the past 1 1/2 years but I did not take the medications given by my doctor. I took natural remedies like green tea, turmeric, cayenne powder in capsules (self made), calcium, Vit. K2, Vit. D3, Omega 3 Fish Oil, garlic (raw or capsules), magnesium etc. After taking the ginger tea for about a month, I went for a blood and cardiac screening last week and the result was: normal blood pressure, normal blood sugar, normal lipid profile, smooth blood flow, normal ECG and heart ultrasound. I believe the ginger tea helps greatly with the above result.Read More Read Less

I peel and cut a slice for nausea. I would put it in hot water like tea, but more often I just cut it and swallow it with a little water. Controls nausea pretty well.

Candied ginger root helped immensely during pregnancy -- nibbled in very small amounts during the day when nauseated.

I read about ginger being helpful with arthritis. My Mom suffers from rheumatoidarthritis. I started making her fresh ginger tea about a year ago, and after only 24hrs, she started noticing a difference. Her arms didn't hurt as much. After a week, she was out of bed and moving around with minimal pain. This is the only thing that has really worked for her (and she has tried both medicines and other natural remedies). It works! And it taste delicious.

I was having morning sickness at night and could not fall asleep. The ginger root capsules were easy to take and help combat the nausea.

I was dizzy upon arising after sleeping or just resting. I now get up -- even in the middle of the night -- without staggering or having to hold on to something.

For a cold, ginger water foot soak: thinly sliced ginger root boiled in a gallon or so of water, until water is stained (about 1 hour). Poured into footbath-size tub, when cooled just enough that I can stand it, immerse feet in it until it cools (about 30 min.). Burning sensation almost unbearable, cold symptoms abate. Repeat next day if needed.

I find Ginger Essential oil in some massage oil is very warming and comforting on my joints.

I drink the Goya Ginger beer (its non-alcoholic), don't know why they call it beer, but they do. I also take a ginger capsule daily, but I do take other supplements as well. Flaxseed, Fish Oil, and Cinnamon capsules, due to the fact that some of the biologics can increase your chance for diabetes, and it does run in the family. 2 Cinnamon caps is helping to keep my glucose just under control.

I have a juicer and often juice fruits and vegetables and recently I thought of adding ginger to the mix. I started to notice that whenever I had the ginger the swelling in my knees was significantly reduced later in the day and my stomach also seemed more calm and settled. Also, being a singer, I realized I could sing higher notes immediately after drinking the juice with the ginger. All in all it seems like a potent and immediate way to remove phlegm and inflammation from the body.
