Shadow relief from ginger

This is something that works for a lot of migraineurs, (for some lucky folks, drinking a glass or two of ginger ale is all that is required to stop their migraine) and it works for me as well -- up to a point.  
 
Take about a teaspoon of powdered ginger -- that's right, the same spice that is used for making ginger snap cookies -- mix it in a cup of warm water and drink it down. For some reason the fresh ginger root doesn't work as well for me. Maybe I'm not taking enough of it.... because of the water content in the fresh stuff it is probably necessary to take at least 8 times as much of freshly diced ginger root to get the same amount into your system.
 
It will hold your shadows at bay for a few hours. For me it will handle everything up to around a Kip 3 or 4. Even for the biggies, it will often slow the "ramp-up" time enough for an Imitrex pill to take effect before the pain gets too severe.
 
I realize that this will probably not work for everyone, but it is cheap, readily available, needs no prescription, has no known side effects, and also helps your digestion. In my opinion it is worth a try.

Thanks, Pinky. Sounds worth a try to me. But my question is...does it help you sleep? Wink Nevermind....
 
Hope you are well.

a diet canada dry instead of diet mountain dew! tastes just as good, no caffeine, and the possibility of fewer headaches!
 
I've used grated ginger root on my forehead for nasty sinus infections - it works!
 
Pinky - a plethora of information! Looking forward to more!

Pinky, Cool
     This is also one of the oldest and best treatments for Sea Sickness, I use to keep Ginger Ale and Ginger snaps on the boat at all times for the few that got sea sick when out with me, they usually only went out once so it was seldom a problem but one brave soul went out several times because her husband was my son's best friend, they worked for her each time and in 12ft swells Shocked that attests for the power of ginger! Pappy ;D

fresh ginger vs dry

Fresh and dry ginger are considered two different medicines in most traditional herbal systems (China, India, etc) - The reason is that when ginger is dried, it is exposed to oxygen and the active ingredients change. It is a good tonic for the blood vessels.So you are not imagining things - you might get results with only the dried stuff. Glad it helps ya, Rooty.

This is most interesting.....
 
I have used ginger to stave off motion sickness as well. I remember reading a long time ago that people with migraines are more likely to get motion sick than people without migraines. I don't know if this applies to ch or not...but it is an odd connection....hmmm
