Ginger is very good for the circulation, including the brain. I have been taking some everyday for the past month, and it does help. I only take one 250mg capsule per day. That's all I can stand. When you first start taking it, it causes a warming sensation in your body. This phenomenon eventually goes away after a couple weeks. Ginger is also a mild stimulant, which can be good for people who have low energy. I find that it is more stimulating at a lower dosage, say 125mg. It is not a great stimulant, however, but it is very good for the circulation. One source says to combine ginger with gingko for circulation support. I can't take gingko because I take certain medications.
I find ginger a very nice herb to add to my regimen without a lot of drug interactions. Most herbs I cannot take for this reason. Check for herb-drug interactions if you take any medications. It could be contraindicated.
