I’ve noticed that the Altoid ginger mints (hard to find sometimes) do a nice job when I’m stuffed up, which is usually.

I have heard this before, but I didn’t experience any improvement when I tried some Ginger supplements for my asthma. Maybe I was doin it wrong.
Anyone else try Ginger to treat their asthma?

I don’t mean Red Heads, and I don’t mean the puppy Ginger, the one who Snaps. Get it?
What do you mean ‘My Day Job’?

Ginger is good for everything, including cooking with. Have a sore throat? Take a raw piece of ginger and chew on it for a few minutes and the pain is gone.

Ginger “may” have a lot of health benefits. I thought about making ginger tea when I had a problem with chronic nausea a couple years ago. I didn’t because it’s too hot for my delicate palate.

I like to keep an extra bottle of ginger ale around the house for medicinal use.

This worked for me recently. I was coming down with something and it started making me feel wheezy. I made some ginger tea - simmered sliced fresh ginger in water for 10 mins, added lemon juice and honey to taste. Made my breathing so much easier. The ginger also helps the nausea I get from draining sinuses.

Also, I added about 1/2 oz of whiskey to this tea at night and slept wonderfully.

Back in the 50s and 60s, our moms always gave us ginger ale when we had a cold. That and Vicks (eucalyptus) did the trick.

I’ve become a fan of the newer, stronger ginger “beers.” The ones from the tropical West Indies store near us are the best. They also stock ginger tea.

According to ConsumerLab:

“The product which provided gingerols at the lowest cost was Organic India Ginger, a loose ginger powder ($10.50 for a 16 oz bag) providing 6.7 mg of gingerols per ¼ teaspoon (600 mg).

If you prefer a pill, the best option is Natures’ Way Ginger Root. A two-capsule daily serving gives you 1,100 mg of ginger powder for 10 cents, providing 14.5 mg of gingerols.”
