“Ginger is perhaps best known for its soothing effects on the digestive system. Numerous studies have established it as a safe and effective treatment for nausea. Ginger even outperformed Dramamine in a 1982 study where subjects had to sit in a spinning chair for six minutes without getting sick. They almost made it when they took the ginger; not even close with the Dramamine.”
Keep Dramamine handy just in case, ginger doesn’t work for everyone. Found this out on an 18-hour flight in which I filled a dozen airsick bags.
It's also great for clearing the sinuses or stuffy noses.
Put it in your chicken broth, for example - but have tissues handy because your nose will be running right quick.
You can also sniff a bit of ginger powder for a very quick break up of sinus congestion - but be judicious - a tiny bit does the trick. More stings...
