ginger

[Guest guest]

According to M. Grieve's A Modern Herbal, ginger (Zingiber officinale)

is a " stimulant, carminative, given in dyspepsia and flatulent colic.

Excellent to add to bitter infusions; specially valuable in alcoholic

gastritis; of use for diarrhea from relaxed bowel where there is no

inflammation. Ginger Tea is a hot infusion very useful for stoppage

of teh menses due to cold, externally it is a rubefacient. "

Personally, I use alot of ginger for alot of things, especially motion

sickness associated with these mountain roads - it's a great stomach

and digestive soother, warming and good blood circulator. Blessings,

Janet

I have a recipe you'll love, Victoria! This is the recipe for the wonderful

ginger candy in a jar no one can afford. I made 6 pounds of it one day!

 

Pyun-gaang

(Ginger Treats)

 

4 oz. fresh gingerroot

1 c. cugar

1/2 t. salt

 

Clean BUT DO NOT PEEL ginger and slice thinly. Blanch in boiling water, then

set aside.

 

In a pan, combine 1/3 c. of the sugar and salt with 1/3 c. water. Stir

thoroughly and add ginger pieces. Cook over medium heat for 7-10 minutes,

stirring, until all the water evaporates.

 

Use the remaining sugar to coat the ginger. Take individual pieces of

ginger to coat them evenly with sugar, then allow to dry on a flat surface.

When dry, they are ready to eat. The outside should crust and the inside

should be chewy and soft.

That's interesting. Sometimes I crave sesame. The Chinese seem to use some

of the same herbs we do, and for the same reasons, but they determine which

ones to use differently. I'm so glad I found your ChineseHerb group! I

thought I knew it all, but it turns out I dunno nuttin' LOL.

 

I'd still stay away from the grocery store herbs. If they don't work,

someone will say herbalism is a hoax. Wouldn't take the chance, myself.

Chinese Traditional Medicine

 

I started Chinese Traditional Medicine because TCM (Traditional )

gave me help with some very long-term health problems in ways that

nothing else was able to do. (I have had CFIDS, Chronic Fatigue

Immune Dysfunction Syndrome) since the spring of 1974. Over the

years it got worse. I'm still not cured, but the longer I stay with

TCM and the more I learn, the more I improve. During the worst of

this I was having to crawl to the bathroom at night, felt like I was

dying (and probably was), could not use a computer or even read, and

could not follow even the most mindless sitcom on TV.

 

I started Chinese Traditional Medicine to help relatives and friends in another

part of the country (U.S.) learn the basics of TCM so they could get

some of the help I had gotten. In time the list grew to include

students in TCM schools and apprentice programs as well as

professionals in various healing fields and traditions.

 

The earliest posts in the message base are designed to walk those new

to TCM through the basics. TCM can be a bit overwhelming at first

because the concepts and terminology are so different from Western

medicine. Today, some of the students and professionals on the list

get into deeper discussions than the basics. I still post to help

those new to TCM pick up the basics as quickly as possible. A recent

post of mine was on the 12 main meridians (pathways of Qi, pronounced

chee, roughly translated as " energy " flow)and Organs.

Thanks. I'm always on the lookout for more ginger recipes.<grin>

 

For the benefit of those unfamiliar with TCM, herbs are classified in

the Chinese Materia Medica (book of list of healing substances)

according to their primary use. Dried ginger is classified as an

herb to warm the Interior. Its thermal energy is Hot. (It warms one

up internally. Raw ginger is classified as an herb to warm the

Exterior (the muscles, arms, legs, head, neck, skin, and meridians.)

The thermal energy of raw ginger is Warm. (It's not quite as warming

as the dry ginger.

 

How cold was I? During the worst of this the only way I could warm

up during the winter was to take several very hot baths per day, and

it didn't even get that cold where we lived at the time! I do have a

history of on-again, off-again thyroid problems, but even though my

thyroid readings were in the normal range during part of this time, I

still stayed cold. I have been known to use a quilt in June.

 

I saw a TCM herbalist, and the standout and main diagnosis was Kidney

Yang Deficiency. Yang warms, activates, and dries the body. I did

not have enough Yang to warm my body properly. Or to have enough

energy to do very much. During the worse of this just sitting up was

too taxing.

 

There were several TCM imbalances, and he treated each of them. The

Yang Deficiency was treated with Yang tonic herbs and herbs to warm

the Interior.

 

Kidney Yang Deficiency can take a long time to correct. Over the

months my energy levels gradually increased and I began to warm up.

A milestone for me was when I could feel warmth when I placed my

hands on my face. I started to read everything I could find on TCM

and question the herbalist all I could. I learned a lot from him.

(Thanks Christopher Gussa!) Eventually I got to the point where I

could concoct my own formulas. Then I began to share TCM info with

others.

 

> That's interesting. Sometimes I crave sesame.

 

Black sesame seed is a Yin tonic herb. Yin cools, calms, and

moistens. There is a recent post on black sesame seeds on

Chinese Traditional Medicine.

 

> I'd still stay away from the grocery store herbs. If they don't

> someone will say herbalism is a hoax. Wouldn't take the chance,

This definitely is something to consider that I hadn't considered.

 

Thanks,

Victoria

Jerry, the link does not work.

 

Did you try it to see if it worked after you posted it? Always a good

idea.

 

I am not sure what you mean by " the PM " ?

Hey, that one works! Thanks! But the link is not to the University of

Virginia study, the one Jerry Middleman was talking about, the one

about cancer cells " eating. "

 

I still think they eat at " fast food " restaurants---probably

at " Burger Thing. "

 

I believe a decade or two ago, " Doonesbury " had a running thing

having to do with someone who was doing a roaring business

selling " tissueburgers. " Was pretty good.

 

If truth be told, those " fast food " moguls would rather not serve

people anything at all for their money. It is a real problem for them

that they actually have to GIVE people something in exchange for

their dollars. They would rather just have people drive in, throw

their money into a bucket and drive away. Maybe if they keep their

paid psychologists working over-time, they will finally achieve it.

 

We know people will throw pennies, nickels, dimes and quarters into

any public pool or fountain of water they find, to the extent that at

pools of water where they do not want money thrown in, they have to

put up signs asking people not to do so.

Ginger,

 

I'm so sorry to hear of this. You must be so stressed as well as she. I'm new on the site myself, but know there is great info here. Go into the files, click on Dr. Shillington, there is a list of stuff there.

 

I would think that the 'incurables' would be a good place to start, do the cleansing and also definately take raw garlic (4-5 whole cloves/day/raw, swallowed like a pill, lightly crushed) as it helps pull heavy petals from the the brain and is a great chelator also lots and lots of freshly juiced carrot juice. (be sure to go out and buy a juicer).

 

Also do the total nutrition and the total tonic.

 

Hopefully some more experienced people will respond to you or perhaps even Doc Shillington.

 

I think you should to these things with her, because no doubt your stress levels will be making you toxic too.

 

Also make sure you don't have any aluminum cooking pans and no more aluminum deoderants. Get a deoderant crystal if you need.

I strongly recommend ginger which I buy freshly powdered and cap up. >>

 

I buy ginger at grocery aisle, those weird looking knobby roots. They keep (whole) in storage for a few months, before withering and drying up. Every time someone has a gut ache or stomach ache, just heat up a cup of hot water, grab a finger size chuck of that root ginger, slice it and dice it a bit so that it can get soaked in, throw it in the hot cup of water for a few, then drink it. Extremely easy and cheap way to handle gut aches. And tasty.

[Guest guest]

I actually love ginger too. I eat them raw in spite of its very spicy touch it gives to your palate. Yesterday, I grated some pieces of whole ginger and mixed it with my varied green salad and also with my baked potato. Sure, I was in burning my inner palate with it, but I still enjoy it. My stomach feels good afterwards too. I do not have any cramping or diarrhea for this. Robert Skofeld wrote: I buy ginger at grocery aisle, those weird looking knobby roots.

If I have an upset stomach, I make some ginger tea .

 

I purchased some pickle ginger, no sugar while in a health food store on a trip, and take that with me when I travel and eat a slice of it after each meal for digestion.

Diane M>>

 

It's too bad that store-boughten Ginger Ale (likely now trademarked?) has no real appreciable or useable amount of ginger in it. It is so simple and tasty to simply drink a ginger product, as you do, containing actual ginger. The marketing, merchandizing world is so decoupled from normalcy and any sense of humanity that they would rather spend more money and transit the world to employ toxic synthetic compounds, than in using what is cheaper and commonly available.

Hello - anybody know if ginger, as a digestive aid stimulates the

pancreas - this is in relation to digestive enzymes.
