How well does ginger work for treating nausea?

Answer 1

I tried eating crystallised ginger when I was feeling travel sick, I'd heard it recommended so many times but it was horrible! Made me feel worse.

Answer 2

I ate a ton of Ginger Altoids after chemo. Didn't feel much nausea.

Answer 3

According to Wiki,

"Ginger has been found effective by multiple studies for treating nausea caused by seasickness, morning sickness and chemotherapy,[8] though ginger was not found superior over a placebo for post-operative nausea."

My sister-in-law had severe morning sickness the whole time she was pregnant and swore by ginger candy and tea. Of course, she can't stand the taste of it now, but she said it worked really well.

Answer 4

I know that chemo patients are often told to drink a ginger herbal tea for nausea and my friend said it really helped
