Ginger is a favorite herb that is used for medicinal purposes for centuries. Next time you feel nauseous, sluggish or have an upset stomach with painful cramps, try taking ginger root capsules.
How does Ginger Root Work? Ginger has been used in ancient civilization including India, China, Greece and Rome, both as a food spice and versatile medicinal aid. Capsules, hot teas, and crystallized ginger are used to deliver a ginger-packed dose that can alleviate nausea, dizziness, inflammation, muscle aches, allergy symptoms and even flatulence.
Ginger is a natural, effective treatment for easing digestive upsets. Once in the digestive tract, it has the ability to increase digestive fluid and neutralize acids, which cancontribute to upset stomach. Ginger is a natural alternative to anti-nausea drugs and may provide an alternative solution for people seeking to eliminate side effects, such as exhaustion, which usually accompanies conventional anti-nausea medications. Ginger can also be used to relieve excessive flatulence and its associated symptoms.
Reducing nausea and dizziness is especially helpful for treating seasickness, morning sickness, post operative nausea, nausea from chemotherapy treatments, and general digestive complaints. Two separate studies showed a positive correlation between ginger and decreased nausea. One study was conducted using sailors, split into two groups. The first group was instructed to take 1 gram of powdered ginger per day, the the 2nd group took a placebo. The group taking the ginger had a significantly decrease occurrence of nausea and cold sweats, which a classic symptoms of seasickness. A second study followed women who were undergoing surgery. They were also instructed to take 1 gram of ginger, resulting in a decrease in post surgery nausea and vomiting.
Ginger also has anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving abilities, which is important to those suffering from arthritis which is often a result of severe inflammation of the joints. Allergy suffers and those dealing with a cold may also find relief in using ginger, as it calms the inflammation associated with these conditions, thus reducing the duration of the symptoms. Muscle aches and chronic pain can also be diminished with the use of ginger.
General recommendations given for upsets, arthritis and chronic pain or muscle aches is to take at least 200 mg in capsule form, 1 - 2 grams of fresh powdered ginger or a fresh 1/2 inch slice of raw ginger root.
Ginger can also be used in tea form with the same therapeutic results. You can make your own tea by opening 1 or 2 Ginger capsules, mix the finely-milled powder into hot water. If you're able to obtain Ginger root at your local grocery store, steep freshly grated raw Ginger root in hot water. Ginger ale is also availabe at most grocery stores, but make sure you buy a natural ginger ale vs. commerrcial ginger sodas, which don't contain a significant amount of the herb. Natural ginger ales provide about 1 gram of ginger per 8 oz. serving....December 9, 2005

Here's Up-To-Date Research Information for your Good Health . . .
From March 2004 to Jne 2004, 250 patients who had been seen by a neurosurgeon and were found to have non-surgical neck or back pain were asked to take a total of 1200 mg of omega 3 fatty acids (DHA and EPA) found in fish oil. A questionnaire was then forwarded to these patients approximately one month after taking the supplement.
Half of the 250 patients (125) returned the questionnaire at an average of 75 days of fish oil supplements. Seventy-eight percent were taking the 1200 mg and 22% were taking the 2400 mg dose. Nearly 60 percent has since discontinued use of other prescription medications for pain. Further 60 percent stated that overall pain improved and 60 percent stated specifically that joint pain had improved. 80 percent were satisfied with their improvement, while 88 percent stated they would continue to take fish oil.

Magnesium is needed for the efficient production of enzymes. It is also involved in protein metabolism, utilization of fats and carbohydrates and is necessary for proper nerve function. Both genders need magnesium to keep their bones strong. If you take calcium be sure to take it in a two to one ratio with magnesium.
The heart needs to pulsate at a steady rhythm for peak efficiency. Magnesium helps keep the heart at a regular beat and thereby avoid irregular heart beats (arrhythmias).
