Precautions

  • Do not take ginger if you have a high fever, an inflammatory skin complaint, ulcers or gallstones.
  • If used as a tisane for a cold, nausea or low-grade fever, be sure to keep an eye on your temperature and general feeling of well-being if condition does not improve then consult a professional.
  • No safety issues seem to exist in the short-term use of ginger to treat the nausea and vomiting during a term of pregnancy. At the same time, the use of ginger as an herbal remedy in the long-term during the pregnancy is not advised as regular use can trigger side effects in the woman. Ginger may stimulate uterine contractions.
  • Ginger is safe to consume in small amounts during pregnancy to alleviate morning sickness but you should consult your doctor first.
  • If you know you are going to have surgery you should stop drinking ginger tea for 5-7 days prior to the day of your operation as ginger is an anti clotting agent.
  • People taking blood thinners, barbiturates, beta-blockers, should consult a physician before use since ginger may conflict with these medications.
  • Ginger can be taken by individuals with a history of gallstones only after careful consultation with a nutritionally oriented doctor as side effects are possible.
  • The downside to ginger is that it can also upset your stomach if you have too much so watch the amount that you use.
