Guest guest Posted March 6, 2007 Report Share Posted March 6, 2007 I just found out that research has shown that ginger is more effective than medicines like dramamine in combating motion sickness. I am amazed and eat something seasoned with ginger next time I am taking a long car trip or on carnaval rides. Katie .._,___ Expecting? Get great news right away with email Auto-Check.

Guest guest Posted March 6, 2007 Report Share Posted March 6, 2007 I was pleasantly surprised on a plane trip when I tried Ginger caplets instead of Dramamine and it worked without the drowsiness. Not sure if it would work on a bumpy flight though!? melissa , Beth Renzetti <elmothree2000 wrote: > > as i understand it, for the same reasons, it's good for pregnant women. it's also good for tummy aches. prolly why i always got gingeral when i was sick as a kid. > > Katie M <cozycate wrote: I just found out that research has shown that ginger is more effective than medicines like dramamine in combating motion sickness. > > I am amazed and eat something seasoned with ginger next time I am taking a long car trip or on carnaval rides. > Katie > > > Recent Activity > > 75 > New Members > > 98 > New Files > > Visit Your Group > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted March 6, 2007 Report Share Posted March 6, 2007 Wow! Thanks for all the information. It is amazing how little ginger American's eat. If they just knew how good for them it was, they may eat it. Naw, probably not. They won't listen to what meat does to them, cause they don't want to have to make the decision to eat themselves to death. They would rather it just happen.

Guest guest Posted March 6, 2007 Report Share Posted March 6, 2007 my dh makes his own crystallized ginger by the large tupperware containerful. he peels then simmers sliced ginger in simple syrup for awhile then drains it (the resulting syrup is great on oatmeal, pancakes, waffles, ice cream, etc....) then tosses it in granulated sugar & allows to dry on large pans. pack it up w/sugar & you should SEE my 6yo gobble it up. Beth yes, I got marked down frequently in English class for run-on sentences. just ask Mr. Buck, lol. Katie M <cozycate wrote: Wow! Thanks for all the information.

Guest guest Posted March 6, 2007 Report Share Posted March 6, 2007 That sounds good. Does he let it air dry on sheet pans or does he put it in the oven on a very low temp of like 200 or something?

Guest guest Posted March 6, 2007 Report Share Posted March 6, 2007 combine 1 part sugar & 1 part water in a saucepan & bringto a boil until sugar has dissolved. good for poaching fruits, too. I do this in a 12 " frypan & add 1 scraped vanilla bean for poaching peeled pears. Heavenly. Beth Katie M <cozycate wrote: What is simple syrup. Do you mean caro syrup or what.

It was a huge relief & very cool to see :^) As an aside, I'm not sure where I read it (I think it was another list), but freezing ginger, skin & all, makes it lots easier to peel & grate, and it keeps for up to six months in the freezer Peace, Maureen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
