Anyone take Ginger as precaution or to aid in sea-sickness?

[ariawoman]

I've been taking ginger capsules (550mg each, 2 with breakfast 2 with dinner or at night) on my past few cruises. I tried the sea bands, the patch, and meclizine to no help. Ginger seems to work for me.

 

It does indeed thin blood. Ginger is also a natural anti-inflammatory.

 

I take them for the duration of my vacation and sometimes even take them in everyday life to try to quell inflammation (which my body seems to have issues with).

 

I haven't had the issues I had prior to taking ginger. We've had some slight seas but nothing insane - so I don't know if it's just that i've not been in rougher seas, or if they work. I do feel some issues still when in the MDR if the seas are rockings, for what it's worth.

I take crystallised ginger from supermarket and also carry ginger candies from health food shop - they have worked so far. Interestingly P&O left dishes of crystallised ginger on a tray as we left the dining room.

I take one part ginger ale to six parts jack daniels.

 

I think it works? :confused:

Trader Joe Ginger Mints work very well. Also will freshen up your breath. I always travel with them.

I can understand them working for you but what do the sea-bands do for the green apples?
