***Did you know that ginger is an antiemetic (meaning that it helps to stop nausea and vomiting)? It was something that we used quite a bit for our chemo patients when I worked as an RN in oncology. We decreased the use of nausea meds by over 50% just by offering our patients gingerbread or gingersnaps and warm tea. If you use fresh or ground ginger, do not consume more than 1/4 teaspoon per day. Ginger, although it has excellent properties as a nausea med, can be toxic to the liver if consumed in large quantities.
