Ginger: Side Effects And Who Should Never Use It?


This herb has been used as a medicine and for cooking for over 5000 years, mainly in Asian countries. Due to ginger’s medicinal properties it’s one the most widely used herbs in the world today. Ginger is perceived as the purest spice of all in ayurvedic culture and tradition.
But any strong and potent medicine has its drawbacks too. For ginger, if you take a larger amount of it, it can cause bloating, nausea, stomach problems, heartburn or gas due to its anticoagulant nature, as well as reinforce the effects of warfarin therapy and increase the risk of bleeding. Therefore, herbalists caution not to consume more than 4 grams in a day.
Who should better not consume ginger?
People with bleeding disorder/hemophilia: since ginger stimulates blood circulation and prevents blood clotting by increasing the blood flow it could increase the risk of bleeding, especially with a combination of medications which slow blood clotting.
People with gallstones: ginger stimulates production of bile, so people who suffer from gallstones should never consume it.
People with Inflammation issues/ulcers: People who have ulcers, blocked intestines or some inflammation could react badly to bigger amounts of fresh ginger, since it may lead to intestinal obstruction.
Pregnant women: Again, due to ginger’s blood circulation enhancement it’s not recommended for pregnant women because it may trigger uterine contractions, as well as interfere with the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins and dietary iron. Not to mention that it’s not advisable to use it in the final weeks of pregnancy. Therefore, it’s best to consult a healthcare professional or a nutritionist before taking it as a dietary supplement.
Diabetes/high BP: Drinking ginger tea on a regular basis lowers blood pressure and sugar so mixing it with various medicaments for high blood pressure or diabetes, not to mention those that stimulate blood-thinning such as aspirin and warfin, could lead to adverse results.
Pre-surgery: An article published in “Der Anaesthesist” in 2007 stated that, by consuming ginger prior surgery you risk having increased bleeding. If you need to have any kind of surgery, better avoid consuming ginger two weeks before that.
Possible herb interactions: Ginger’s influence is increased if mixed with other herbs that slow blood clotting and stimulate blood flow, which include garlic, ginkgo, clove, turmeric, angelica, ginseng and biloba. This combination could increase the risk of bleeding.
Most of these side effects could be avoided by taking ginger supplements in pill form, like enteric-coated capsules which slows the herb’s digestion in the body until it enters the digestive tract. Nevertheless, ginger has almost no negative side effects when consumed in small amounts and could be found on FDA’a list as “generally recognized as safe”. However, be careful where you purchase your supplements from, since in certain occasions some health/herbal supplements were contaminated by toxic metals or replaced with other medicaments. Hence, health/herbal supplements should be bought from a reliable supplier to minimize that risk.

    Hemophilia is a rare disorder in which your blood doesn't clot normally because it lacks sufficient blood-clotting
    proteins (clotting factors).     If you have hemophilia,you may bleed for a longer time after an injury than you would if your
    blood clotted normally.

CHANZO NA TIBA ASILIA YA TONSILS

Dawa ya TONSILS ni (kugargar)  kusukutuwa maji yalokuwa si moto sana pamoja na chumvi mara 4 kwa siku yafike kooni. Pia unatakiwa usitumie pili pili manga wala tangawizi. Kwani watu wengi utasikia wanakunywa chai ya tangawizi na soup iliyojazwa pili pili manga. Kumbe unaona vizuri wakati unapokunywa lakini huwa unayavimbisha matonsils kwani baada ya nusu saa utaona unaumwa kuliko mwanzo na homa kuja juu. Uzuri kuwa unakunywa maji ya moto moto. Vile vile kuchukuwa mdomo wako na kuweka kwenye goti na kuwa unalipuliza bila kutoka pumzi mara kwa mara na kama hufikii goti lako basi unaweza kuchukuwa kanga na kufanya mfano wa mpira na kuwa unapuliza kila utakapokuwa na wakati, hii pia inasaidia. Usiwe unazungumza sana isipokuwa kwa dharura kwani ujaribu utakavyoweza upepo usipite kwenye mdomo wako. Sio lazima unywe maji baridi ndio upate Tonsils mfano A/c linapofanya kazi upepo wa baridi unapita kwenye mdomo wako basi unapata Tonsils Au wakati unapolala na A/c linafanya ka
