I tried some ginger root today, for elbow joint pain, I cutt the skin off and ate about a table spoon full and I tell you, no joke my joint pain was gone in minutes if not seconds. maybe a coincident, but the pain was gone. I put the remainder in a silled plastic bag.

Ginger is normally peeled.
You can store in the Fridge of leave in a cool place.
Fridge - lasts 7-10 days
Outside - 3-6 days

Sherry:

Freezing it is the best thing. Cut off "nubs" about the size of the eond of your finger and place them in a zip loc bag and stick in the freezer. It is much easier to grate. If you peel it, use a teaspoon and lightly rub the outside. It won't hurt for you to leave the peeling on.

I do not peel the ginger root. I use a microplane hand-held grater and just grate off the amount I want from the whole root. I like to eat it on oatmeal and the grated root is easy to use in tea or anything.

Can ginger affect sleep? I had some soup with ginger in it and didn't sleep for two nights. Felt great but wide awake the following days too. Caffeine was not the culprit so wondered about the ginger.

What I like to do it take fresh ginger root, grate off about 3 tbsp.. boil in 2 cups of water .. for about 5-7 minutes..(for my husband and myself)..I then take 1 tsp of honey (For each cup), drain off the ginger, pour the liquid into cups with honey, and drink. We each have 1 cup every night. We drink this during the winter months to fight off colds, mostly. But, we also have arthritis and other problems.... And hey, its cheap, its herbal, its good for you AND it works!... shhh!.. Dont tell the doctors!

I have been sick for 2.5 years, with no help from doctors and gastrointestionals. After eating and before a bowl movement I had cramps and much discomfort, very sick at my stomach, just had to go to bed for hours before any relief, and it would start all over again once I had to eat again. But I have been taking GINGER ROOT capsules for approx. 3 weeks now and have been much much better. I have been back to my old self again. I could type a whole page on all the things I have had tests for, many times they have checked my gallbladder, I am praying the Ginger Root will keep on working. Doris B.

Also try Rooibus tea. It is very tasty and really helps with the stomach also. I had a pain in my right side, and I changed my diet and drank this by accident one day, and no pain. I cannot have soda, caffeine, onion, garlic, cabbage, beans of any kind, brocoli and cauliflower. Hope it helps you too.

I'm starting to take ginger root caps as well. Hoping to get the same results as you have stated above. Have had reflux for years....sometimes under control and others times not so great! What dose do you take?

30/01/2012 07:55

I have heartburn too, and i have been taking Candex. Turns out a lot of reflux is caused by candida. Magically cured me for 2 year now! You can buy it online at Vitacost much cheaper than in your local healthfood store, Can't believe I got so lucky!!! People don't understand how miserable hearburn is!

I decided to try this fresh ginger root for a cold. I awoke with a cough and a minor sore throat. The symptoms started late last evening and I has taken some traditional cold medicine.I am getting better results from the ginger root alone today!! This is a wonderful discovery. My sore throat is gone, and the coughing has been greatly diminished. I have coughed a little and I can honestly say that it is almost nill as compared to what I was experiencing when I got up this morning. I have eaten 6 slices of fresh giner root, 3 this morning at around 10:30 and 3 this afternoon at around 1:30. I am very happy with the results so far.

I had a horrible migrane headache a few weeks ago and of course nothing over the counter generally works except for Excedrine but I don't take it because I try to avoid all forms of caffine so in my desperation, I broke off a piece of my ginger root that I had in my kitchen and in one hour the pain was gone and I was amazed. Ginger root has become my go-to remedy for headaches. It's not very tasty, but it does the trick without drugs and chemicals and I love that!

For the taste, get yourself a juicer. 1/4 inch to 1/2 inch ginger root (don't bother peeling it) 1 fresh beet, 2-3 carrots and 1 apple.
Wash everything, juice in the above order adjusting the ingredients to suit taste. If you use fresh ingredients you have a very tasty, very healthy drink, and if you get the proportions right, you will actually start to crave it!

I made some delicious carrot, parsnip, and ginger soup that my husband and I ate for two nights. Those two nights I couldn't sleep. My husband couldn't sleep the second night. It was as if we had consumed caffeine just before bed but we hadn't. Even though I hadn't slept, I was wide awake and alert the days following. I felt great, just couldn't sleep. I wondered if ginger could affect sleep.

Ginger is very good for preventing respiratory tract problems such as coughs and colds. My family and I have taken fresh ginger, juiced with fruits, every day for the past 4 years. Between us we have had 2 cases of mild cold only, no sickness off work/school and no anti-biotics usage during this time at all.

I was popping crystallized ginger for morning sickness and it appeared to help most of the time, but on a whim I bought a root and took it home, diced and boiled it, then kept it in some tupeware. Took a small piece this morning at the onset of my nausea and I was GOLDED ALL MORNING! Amazing! Go with straight ginger root is my recommendation if you are taking this for morning sickness. I think I recell Altoids (the mint) making a ginger version a few years ago. Haven't seen it around since, but if you have access to that, i would try those too. :)

I was diagnosed with breast cancer last year. Had a lumpectomy, did 6 sessions of chemo, and then 30 sessions of radio. During chemo I had no appetite to eat...sooooo I bought a juicer and juiced apple, three carrots, pear, peach, kiwi oranges and a slice of fresh ginger....I drank it every day and still do on a daily basis...it helped me thru this ordeal..it seems to boost me and has a very calming effect ..anyways..all my tests now have come out clear. I now also use ginger in my meals when I cook, even in salads grated. Is there anything of an overdose that I would have to be careful of.

I drink Ginger Tea(Peeled, Grated Fresh Root heated in a teaball left in water for around 10 minutes) and Honey almost every night(every night lately). My grandparents(well in their 60's) started drinking it when they had a cold and they swore by it. I used to have chronic nausea, I have gallbladder troubles(I'm certain) and just generally had a screwy stomach. I control it all with "Ginger Tea", Acid Reducers, Beet Root Capsules and Imodium(IBS causes the need for this). The ginger is so much more helpful than ever I knew. I feel so much better now that I drink it however I too experience sleeplessness with large amounts. I generally do get to sleep, however it's nearly 4 when I do so which causes me to be tired. I'm thinking to start taking two cups morning and night! Nothing but good to say about it!

I took a 550 mg capsule of ginger last night and had the worst night of sleep in weeks, partly because of three trips to the bathroom to urinate. After the third time I couldn't fall back asleep. Is ginger a diuretic?

As posted on this page, ginger helps blood circulation, so perhaps this change in your body's pace caused you to stay up all night.

Also, ginger is great at getting your digestive juices flowing, so yes, I would consider it a diuretic. Instead of taking ginger at night, try taking it an hour or so before a meal, particularly breakfast. When I do this, I notice that I have much more pleasant digestion and a calm day, balanced ahead of me :)

While I first was told I had Bells Palsy, and the Doctor said that it would be 3-4 week, maybe even 8 weeks, if I'm lucky, because some poeple after geting this have never been able recover from it, so just wait and see what happens and if it looks it may be longer then 8 weeks then come back in ( Which I wasn't willing to do) So I went out and got ginger tea and pills, Because in the research I did on this herb, It seem to fit the bill, a detoxifying, anti viral and most inportant a very powerful anti-inflammatory herb, (just what I was looking for) I started three day after I went to the Doctor's, took a pill in the morning and afternoon (with food of course) then I would drink a cup of ginger tea at night, about 30-45 min.after dinner and before bed, by the end of 7 days my Bells Palsy was 65% gone, 10 days I was completly cure and since then I take ginger as least twice a day and I still love my ginger tea, I just wish I knew about ginger when I had my flu afew week before this happened I bet it would have helped.

I have been using ginger for a while, it has alot of health benefits and its all natural, i put it in the blender without peeling it with orange juice then strain it and drink it. I do this with on an empty stomach. This has help me for several things like joint pain,(reduces inflammation of the joints) acid reflux, sore throat ,colds, and some other things. But no matter how you use it as long as it works, the idea is that you want to feel better . I keep it in the freezer for a month or so. And for you guys that want to improve your blood flow to the penis it works well.
Stay well and healthy to all.

Hello fellas, I,m great user of ginger roots since I was in my country Phillipines , actually I myself planted in our farm, so I used these great herbal straight from our farm. The way I store ginger is to wrap it with foil niecely & put it in the refrigarator. Your ginger roots will stay frresh for a long period of time. More power to this great herbal medicine. Let me know if you guys want to know some more herbal medicine which I learn from my parents & old folks.

Here's a good warming winter tea drink: put some milk in a pan, a Lipton's tea bag or your choice of tea, some ginger about 1/4 to 1/2 inches cut up into small slices or grated, add some cinnamon sticks or a dash from spice, and heat on oven until warm to hot (watch it as milk will boil over like hot chocolate does). When hot, pour into a mug, add some honey if desired and enjoy.

I am not sure if you have to use middle of ginger as it seems stringy,is it because it has not been stored properly.I do very small jars and fill with white wine vinigar and shredded ginger,use it to add taste whin cooking salmon or white meat,Delicious.

I tried this per my doctor's instructions. I have a terrible viral infection. Bad cough, diarreha, very red sore throat, cant swallow not strep though, and lost my voice complety. I didn't peel but did chop up into cube sized and boiled and used as drink and wow this worked great. Next day was a mass improvement all around. I looked into the other benefits of this herb and do I testify this works! Not the most pleasent taste but was worth it!

Hi,

I started drinking ginger infusion as
part of a mild detox. Now I find that most of the roots I have show a
purplish-grey centre and feel slightly viscous when I grate the root. Is
that a sign of some kind of root rot, fungus or simply decay? And if it
is so, it surely isn't beneficial to health to be drinking diseased
roots... Would be grateful for any advice, in case origin helps to
identify the cause, I got the ginger freshly from East Africa, so it's
not a Chinese or other Asian import. Thanks

I store it in the fridge for some weeks. For longer, I freeze it and use it even frozen for tea or cooking.

The best place to store your fresh ginger is in a wicker basket with a lid, that is lined with a cloth on the bottom. You want to keep it in a dark dry area. I enjoy juicing my ginger its fast easy and in its pure form still. Makes all my morning drinks great!

I steeped ginger root overnight (said to do one hour) I also added smashed avacado seed to the water. I'd learned at Qi Revolution that Ginger Root is a natural pain killer and anti inflammatory I woke up in severe backpain, probably from 4 days of sitting on the floor at the convention. While waiting for a fellow LMT, I managed to pull myself up and driink the tea. My pain Completely subsided in 15 minutes. BLAM. My skin, which has suffered severe cystic acne for 14 years, cleared up substantially when I quit eating hormone ridden meat and cheese. Still not completely clear, I believe ginger root will further expell my skin infection.

If interested, beets are a blood cleanser, distilled water extracts harmful metals, minerals and torewsberries@yahooins AND it reverses arthritis. I hope this helps someone out there. More info? Email shrewsberries@yahoo
