Re: nausea and ginger rootFrom: Betsy Hyde (elishyde@connix.com)Fri Nov 1 18:39:40 1996
>is there someone how a<have experience with treatment of nauseea in >pregnancy with ginger root. > >JF Rancourt md >Montmagny, PQ >Canada We use ginger in many forms for relief of nausea. It can be in the form of ginger root capsules (dessicated ginger....same stuff used for cooking), tea made from freshly grated ginger, ginger ale (with real, rather than artificial ginger), ginger cookies, a product called Ginger Works which is ginger in some sort of thick, sweet syrup. There are actually controlled clinical trials which showed that ginger was more effective than dramamine for motion sickness (don't have the reference,but could find it.) The study involved spinning folk in those space simulators, and measuring the time until they vomited....demonstrated the superiority of ginger over dramamine.) Truly amazed that this list has discussed St. John's Wort for depression and ginger for nausea in the same week! Maybe you're on to something here..... I've attached a ginger root bibliography...hopefully it is legible. I am always unsure if things will transmit as I wish.

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education.
