“it may calm nausea from motion sickness,”

A few years ago, the Myth Busters guys conducted experiments on the best way to combat nausea from motion sickness — auto, sea sickness, roller coasters, etc. Ginger was the clear winner. Nothing else was even close.

I take ginger capsules with me when I cruise in case of sea sickness. Have never needed them, but they’re there if necessary.

Growing up, if you opened the fridge and saw ginger ale, you knew someone was sick.

Seasickness can be cured by taking a ginger pill.
confirmed

Both Adam and Grant made it through their spin-chair sessions without feeling ill. ~

Seasickness can be cured by using a placebo, like a vitamin or a sugar pill.
plausible

While Adam didn’t fall for it, Grant was successfully tricked into thinking he had taken a store-bought sea-sickness medication and did not throw up. Unfortunately, by falling for the placebo all his test results had to be thrown out on the grounds of psychosomatic influence.
