Unfortunately, there is no conclusive evidence to show that ginger can assist with an medical condition other than with pregnancy or chemotherapy induced nausea. For pregnancy, ginger tea or ginger biscuits (sugar free) tend to work well. Chemotherapy induced nausea is a bit more tricky due to the significant decline in appetite and high risk of vomiting in these patients. These patients may benefit from chewing on dried ginger, sucking on sugar free ginger sweets or by consuming ginger flavored sip feeds provided by their dietitian.

Ginger syrup is an excellent home remedy for colds, flu, sore throat, fever, nausea, vomiting and stomach pain, as it contains gingerol, a substance with potent anti-inflammatory action. This syrup is simple to prepare and can be made at home using natural ginger root or its powdered form and lemon, honey or cinnamon can be added to improve its properties.

The best way to prepare ginger, for healthy benefits, is pouring hot water over sliced or grated fresh ginger and boiling it for 10-30 minutes because it produces a decoction that has medicinal properties. You may add lemon and honey to improve taste.
