I’ve been eating 1/2 pound of raw ginger a week for about two weeks. My bone spur on my wrist feels like it’s almost gone! I also use ginger essential oil diluted with water for a overnight wrist wrap. So far these remedies are working big time for my arthritic bone spur and tendinitis.

In 2009 I suffered from an extreme case of Dyspepsia.
My stomach would burn if I ate any processed foods, particularly refined processed sugar products. I spent hundreds of dollars on antacids before I switched to a whole food diet. Between changing my diet and using Ginger as my antacid medication, I've not bought any OTC meds since 2009 .

I started a ginger tea smoothie before bed for weight loss but I had a pain in my knee that I rub every night for 3 years and it just disappear so that was a great bonus next to my 24lbs weight loss. Ginger is great

I love ginger root, been putting it in my green smoothies in the morning. I was feeling very nauseous due to hormonal imbalances and I started drinking green veggie juices with ginger root all week and my symptoms went away. Thank you for this video also it's very reassuring.

I've already lost 10 pounds in only one month drinking ginger tea after every meal!

I just started this tea into my daily routine. It has been amazing on easing my stomach pain from stomach virus and after learning all the additional health benefits I will keep it in my daily routine. :) I drink tea or put a small amount in my daily morning juicing routine. I wish I knew about this when I was pregnant for my morning sickness. Great great herb!

[kangli]

I have constantly used ginger ( the juice from the juicer)after long and taxing workouts ( Deadlifts and Squats mostly) and noticed a fast recovery and an ability to deal more with the pain ( I mean the good pain from muscle exercise).
I also drink ginger with a cup of milk before bed which helped me overcome the morning stomach upset ( not so upset as sick but that unpleasant sensation in your stomach).
I think everyone should be consuming this root all the time, and it's cheap as well.
