Ginger, already legal, has been demonstrated to be effective in reducing nausea for cancer patients receiving chemotherapy (chemical treatment). Chemotherapy induced nausea occurs in 70% of patients receiving same. Not surprising. What is surprising is that patients taking antiemetics (Medication to combat nausea) who supplemented with ginger reported a 40% decrease in nausea. 0.5 to 1g of ginger per day is the amount recommended by the study.
So roll em up. Er, sushi style.
