Podcast: Marvelous Health Effects of Ginger 

Used ginger powder for migraines multiple times, did not feel any noticeable effect. But then I tryed chewing on fresh ginger root. Bingo, this really did help me. Less pain, faster recovery. Seems the fresh root has more working compounds.

Your grandmother must be a proud woman to call you her grandson what you've done here is quite amazing the time it must take to make all these video's & to donate all the funds from your books to charity as a tribute to your grandmother! Thanks so much for sharing Dr. Gregor!

I went vegan in 2019 and my horrible monthly menstual cramps went completely away.Thank you Dr. Greger for all you do.

This Dr is a true hero, such an inspiration of what human beings should aspire to be!

I eat a clove of garlic and and equal amount of shredded fresh ginger root on my toast every day. I lowered my BP from 180 to 122 over 6 months. I also take herbs. And I cut out caffeine.

Love the smell and taste of ginger. My favorite recipe is turmeric ginger tea.

I took ginger this morning for no specific reason whilst having period pains and the pain went away!!!

Dr Greger, I want you to know I really appreciate you. I've been a vegetarian for years for what I call ethical reasons, but I realize after listening to your podcasts and lectures that I was paying more attention to what I should not eat than what I should eat. Yesterday my doctor called to tell me I have osteoporosis at the age of 66. It is likely due in part because I had ovarian cancer and hysterectomy on my 19th birthday and post-menopausal much longer than the average lady experiences at my age. I wish I knew about Dr Greger's daily dozen a long time ago, but there's no time like the present to get a handle on my health. Thanks again, Audrey.

I recommend your show to everyone I know that seeks a healthier life. Thank you for the good work. My mother used to give me ginger snap cookies when I was a girl on my cycle. I keep ginger in the house at all times.

I pulled a hammy one time.. instead of calling out of work i ate ginger my whole shift. By the time i was done work.. pain was a 1 out of 10

My daughter drinks raw root ginger tea for her menstrual cramping. Works like a charm every time. 🇨🇦❤️

I use ginger when I have a cold, intestinal problems and to digest. However in the last days I use it mostly to cook or to drink a tea after lunch or dinner, because since I am vegan it is difficult I get the flue or other viral problems. I think it is a very healthy food to eat nearly every day

Fresh grated ginger, 5 or 6 crushed garlic cloves, balsamic vinegar, salt, pepper and a little olive oil; homemade salad dressing everyday

Great information! I am currently reinventing my health...yet again. The information you provide has been pivotal on this journey. I've been adding ginger powder to my nutrition shakes along with beet powder, turmeric and ground flaxseeds. I am on a mission to lower my BP enough to be removed from the meds. I will check back in about 6 months on my progress. The information you share is food for my soul as well as my body.

I put 1/ 2 tsp each of ginger and turmeric in my smoothie every morning, and it keeps my arthritic finger joints pain-free. If I skip the spicy smoothie for more than 2-3 days,, pain comes right back. It's amazing.

A thumb sized piece of fresh ginger goes into my smoothies every day here, and a teaspoon of it’s cousin turmeric, goes into a nut milk drink in the evening. Herbs and spices = rock & roll once you’re over 50 ✌️😉

I've started drinking a smoothie made with almonds, dates, ginger, cinnamon and cloves. I've lost 9 pounds without changing anything else. I look forward to seeing what happens if I walk every day. I am a window washer so I do move quite a bit through the day. (It feels like 5 hours of aerobic exercise) the weight wouldn't go away until now, I was looking more for a warming winter drink than something to take weight off. I also had a blood clot in a varicose vein that was really large. I was looking for a natural alternative to help dissolve the blood clot. I don't know if it's mainly the ginger or if it's the combination of all 5 ingredients but something is helping me. I had actually given up trying to lose weight. I started drinking this to warm up and my pants started getting loose. I started washing them in hot water. Then I stepped on the scale and couldn't believe my eyes! If I don't drink it for a few days I do start gaining weight again so I do think this is the determining factor for me.

Last night I was so much in pain as my tooth infected and my gum was swallen. I had some freshly squized orange and ginger juice. The next day I felt much better. This made me to search for the nutritional fact of ginger and I found this video. Thanks Doctor, it was very informative and useful🌹

My personal mix in a tea pot is green tea, 1 teaspoon ginger, 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar, and stevia for a nice sweet/sour spicy drink hot or cold. Any herb can be used, like hibiscus or peppermint.

Awesome info, I have forwarded to my friends who suffer from migraines, menstrual pain and diabetes.

Thanks, doc! God bless.

Ginger helped me lower my blood pressure. It's also a relief in my panic attacks.

As per your recommendation Dr Greger in one of your past videos on using ginger for menstrual cramps, I have been using it for years now, I do 1/4 teaspoon twice a day starting about 3 days before my period and during. I'm It definitely helps! And yes even more so after a few periods. There have been times where used up my ginger and forgot to get more and the cramps during those periods were worse. Even at their worst my cramps have never been very bad since going vegan, but the ginger does help a lot for sure.

Thanks Dr. Gregor you are awesome!

I like making a tea out of ground ginger. I put some in boiled water and add soy milk and stevia. If you had a bit of soy milk first and mix, it dissolves the powder better so it doesn't settle to the bottom. You just need a small amount of ground ginger. Like an 1/8 teaspoon to 1/4 teaspoon.

Always greatful. What about the effects on gastritis? might irritate the stomach or probably lead to get gastritis. Fresh Ginger and turmeric.

I've never had Menstrual pain, But I take 1.5 tsp every day for 6 months+. Buy my feet still hurt from diabetic Neuropathy, Some days are worse then others. It does seem to help with insulin sensitivity. I have cut way back on insulin at a type2. But I have changed a lot of things to get to this point, mainly huge diet changes, so I can't pinpoint how much the ginger is helping. I buy ginger in bulk online, rather then the grocery store. So much cheaper. I add it to my Plain greek yogurt as that is the easiest way to take it, and I don't mind the taste. I could also put in 1/4 cup water and stir it up with my mixer.. then drink it quickly before it settles out..

Why would a sugar pill be used as a placebo when studying things related to blood sugar control? Wouldn't the sugar in the pill mess with the experiment by increasing blood sugar levels?

God bless you Dr. Greeger!!!

Would fresh ginger root be as effective? Always have the root on hand, never tried the powder.

Ginger powder doesn't seem to do much for me except irritate my throat and esophagus if I use it too frequently, but I like to think it's still more healthy than not.

In Indonesia, regular ginger is for cooking. For herbal medicine, we make use of red ginger. It is the hottest and the most fragrant ginger in our country. However, it is rare. You should order first.

Thank you for your wealth of knowledge, and the ulturistic sharing of it.

Thanks!

Wow in our culture we use ginger powder mixed with jaggery and halon seeds for post natal women!

I will check it today!

I know that a low fat macrobiotic style vegan diet in just 10 days can make severe migraines totally disappear in just 10 days ( kept about 95% ) and it also took away any other pain - and I was adviced to use green tea and ginger but I only used the ginger rarely because I found the taste too strong

Educational! Thanks.

What about fresh ginger? It works the same?How can I mesures?

Great work

What about fresh turmeric effect combine with the ginger tea with adding green tea and cinnamon

Fresh ginger juice, fresh lemon juice from half a lemon a quarter teaspoon of cayenne pepper and a table spoon apple cider vinegar in a glass of warm water first thing in the morning on an empty stomach works wonders

Awesome stuff, and love the narration too.

Excellent.

I love your videos thank you so much

I’m making a ginger tea now!

I'm going to try the Ginger Powder for my menstruation cramps. I have tried fresh ginger tea, but it didn't help at all. Ibuprofen 400-600 mg (liquid caps though) makes the pain completely go away. If I could get the same result with ginger powder I'm all in, because all these painkillers can't be good for my stomache. I just can't stand this pain and it seems to get worse over the years (39 now). So I have high hopes for the ginger.

Dr gerger make video on brain memory problem solving improving foods

Do we know if ginger tea is best taken as ground ginger, ginger paste, fresh ginger or ginger teabags?

Despite the fact that cannabis is still not legal in some states it remains a leading remedy for menstrual cramps . Raw extract is not psychoactive and has been in use for hundreds of years.

I love these podcasts!

I’ve been obsessed with ginger and lemon for years just for the taste. Hopefully I don’t eat too much.

Is there any harm in consuming ginger?

Is fresh significantly ginger better than powder ginger ?

How much fresh ginger would we need to get the equivalent dose of "one teaspoon of ginger powder"?

I find ginger stops nausea nicely

💕Thank you! 💕 This is fantastic. You have done so much for the world. 🌎🌍 Can you put it in hot water or hot food for same effects?🤔 💡 I would love to hear one over Green-lipped muscle supplements.

Awesome!!!

Ibuprofen on empty stomach?? It's again of the instruction! It is very bad for the stomach's lining! I cannot believe the doctor was saying that!

Brilliant outro!

beer is unfortunately still one of my major vices. maybe time to switch to the ginger variety.

I'm a guy. I make a cup of coffee. I drop a teaspoon full of ground ginger into a small bowl and pour some good honey over, stir, eat with the spoon between coffee slurps. I suppose I could stir in some water and drink it, but I don't. Probably beneficial. I buy ginger in one pound bags and supposedly wild flower honey.

Before the veggie OMAD meal I'm now enjoying, a pint of warmed, filtered water went hand in hand with powdered true cinnamon and ginger. Not to mention the ACV and lemon to bolster it. Throw in a coffee made with rooibos and green tea water, I should rightly be on an even keel. All that's left is to walk up town and get a paper. Simultaneously settles the stomach and helps digestion in one fell swoop. Then I'll be peeing like a horse for the rest of the evening. If only ...

How the heck did the ginger work better the second month? We need more research to understand this magic!

First. Winner winner ginger dinner.

I suppose the sugar in crystallized ginger negates all the potential benefits?

Dear Dr Greger, how safe is it to consume ginger during pregnancy? Ginger has a strong anti-inflammatory effect and so, like aspirin, perhaps it is not safe for pregnant women?

Ginger FTW

I will try this in the next period and write here the result😅😊

will it help with libido?

If I don't have lemongrass, lemon basil, dried ginger powder, some Tulsi in my Tea, I refuse to drink it. 😂 Blame it on the Indian me (but this is the simple Black Tea not the regular Indian Tea a.k.a Milk Tea.)

2:50 something is fishy here: 400 mg of ibuprofen takes the pain from 8 to 0 in about 20 min (when it starts acting), in my own experience, and ginger from 8 to 6, he says. How is that working "just as well"?

Ibuprofen is quite dangerous on an empty stomach. Can you eat too much please? Most internet articles say a max of 4grams per day but I'd like to eat more sometimes as I like it frozen with chopped orange peel in my breakfast oats.

raw ginger, right?

Studies say this and studies show that so you try it and never notice a difference.

❤

Somebody tell Dr G I figured out a way to dramatically decrease Essential Tremor using a modified WFPB diet. I need some one with some serious chops to get the word out to millions of Essential Tremor patients! I even wrote a little book about it that's available on Amazon (case report basically.)

👍👍

use the real ginger root. not the processed powder. big difference!

The audio in these podcasts is clipping (fuzzy)... not nearly as clean as that of the videos.

Gain is a bit high on the mic there Dr. Greger

kill two birds with the one stone ..... dark chocolate and ginger ...yummy for the sad mummy

the information in this video was very gingerly dispersed.

ive ruined a few meals adding ginger lol, i dont understand how compounds in a plant can have positive effects in humans it just doesnt make sense to me, we are completley different creatures, unless we evolved from ginger plants and we are just deficient now so we need to eat it to replenish our bodys functions lol na seriously tho, baffles me, dont like it, i prefer the idea of fasting

ginger sure didn't help this guys hair grow !!!
