Hi to all! The mention of ginger for migraines reminded me of an article I cut out of a local paper not long ago. It reports that ginger root is helpful for various ailments, including migraines. They cite a study done in Denmark in which significant inprovement was found in people suffering from migraines. They used it like this: During the migraine attack, a woman was given 500 mg of ginger powder diluted in water, and the pain subsided within a half hour, leaving no after effect and no post-migraine hangover. Thereafter she recieved 1.5 - 2 gr of ginger a day (it is available in capsule form ) which significantly lowered the frequency and severity of her migraines, from which she had been miserable and almost sidelined for years. The article also mentions ginger's positive effects as a "NSAID substitute" in joint inflammations. Would such large amounts of ginger have any affect on breastfeeding, negative or positive?
