A few years back I was in Australia on long road trip. At a roadside stop, our guide recommended a bottle of the local ginger beer if anyone suffered motion sickness as were about to go through a twisty section of road. I bought some of the local brew and have to say it worked a treat. Since then I always keep some fresh root ginger in the fridge. Whenever I have "funny tummy" (quite often at this age!!) I either grate some into hot water, or often I just chew on a nugget of it. It really works for me. Over the last few months I have been getting lots of headaches, and the other day I wondered if it would work for the headaches too, having run out of ibuprofen. And yes, it does!! Magic stuff. Hope this helps someone else. :)

We have used ginger in cooking for over 20 years. Like honey, it is one of Nature's healers. Ginger biscuits when travelling which can, if necessary, be sucked though that's a little messy. If I feel 'off' I eat crystallised ginger or drink some of the juice from the jar.
