In reply to Can ginger prevent PMS?, posted by Alara on March 1, 2003, at 3:08:58
> David, this is very interesting. To my knowledge, I am not bipolar, but I'm wondering if it could help with PMS!! At certain times of the month, a more stable mood would be a Godsend..
> Has anybody used ginger for this purpose?Dear Alara,
Thank you for responding to the thread.
I did research at www.google.com on the subject
and was quite startled by the number of symptoms
women suffer during PMS.
No wonder you would like to prevent it altogther!
If there is any substance which prevents PMS
it is most likely not beneficial toward one's longterm health.
Having said that, here is a quote
from a web page I perused:"In many of the Eastern medical traditions
ginger is valued as a woman's root,
its antispasmodic properties relax menstral cramps,
PMS, and menopause-related indigestion."Apparently ginger is useful for many maladies.
Here are a few sites that I liked:http://www.geocities.com/homeworkat52/pms.html

I learned something as a result of your query.
THANK YOU.dave
