The ginger root is one of the most important herbs in the kitchen. If you have nausea or indigestion, burn a ginger piece on the stove top with a fork, peel the outer skin and eat along with salt.I learned this from my father.
Various forms of traditional and alternative medicine have used ginger for centuries to treat stomach problems, reduce nausea, and treat flus and colds, among other applications.
