Ginger Quells Chemo Related Nausea
Here's another great on for the complementary medicine file: in the largest study of its kind yet, researchers have found that just a smidgen of purified ginger in supplement form (one-quarter teaspoon to one-half teaspoon of the spice each day) could reduce chemotherapy-related nausea by 40 % on the first day of treatment when used in combination with traditional anti-nausea medications. What's so great about this news is that if nausea is reduced on day one, patients tend to have reduced nausea throughout treatment, according to the study's author.
