In reply to how does one take the ginger? » linkadge, posted by cadburyhesychasm on October 4, 2018, at 4:30:04
Good questions. Unfortunately, I don't have all the answers. Both ginger root and turmeric have been used as medicines for pain and inflammation for centuries. They possess fairly potent anti-inflammatory effects.
I recall reading that ginger root inhibits substance P, but I don't know the mechanism. It also has calcium channel blocking activity and 5-ht3 antagonist properties. There appears to be some direct or indirect effect on NK1 receptors.

Ginger root is fairly safe. It has many culinary uses and spice consumption is generally associated with health benefits. Turmeric consumption may be assoicated with lower risk of alzheimers, for instance.If you are concerned about higher doses, you may want to use lower doses as part of a stack (if you can find other substances that inhibit substance P).
