Ginger to the Rescue! MIGRAINE help also!

Ginger root has strong anti-inflammatory properties, settles the stomach, helps with nausea, and aids in digestion. For those that deal with Migraine attacks, it’s an all-around powerhouse and must-have addition to your pantry (and purse!). 4 SIMPLE WAYS TO USE GINGER FOR MIGRAINE Research has shown that ginger powder can play a huge role in curbing migraine attacks: taking a half teaspoon of ginger in a little warm water at the onset of a Migraine attack has been shown to be as effective as taking sumatriptan, a commonly prescribed Migraine abortive. Alternatively, here are five ways you can turn to ginger if you feel an attack coming on. 1 – Essential Oils. If your Migraine attacks come with an upset stomach, digestive issues, or nausea, try using PURE ginger essential oil. Rub a few drops along your inner wrists, where the points to your stomach channel are and along the stomach where the discomfort is felt. 2 – Ginger Candies. For something fast and easy to carry in your purse, car, or grab from your desk drawer, try ginger candies. Made from all-natural ginger, but put into delicious candy form, these are the perfect thing to pop into your mouth to settle your stomach or when you feel a Migraine attack beginning. Plus, they are safe to use for relief while pregnant. I always take on airplanes. 3- Ayurvedic Mask. Ayurvedic medicine, the healing modality for balancing mind, body, and spirit in India, suggests creating a strategically placed face mask with ginger powder to treat a Migraine attack. The mask is simple to make and calming to use: Add warm water to organic ginger powder, make it into a paste, and dab it lightly along your forehead and temples. Rest in a quiet, dark room or somewhere calming. 4 – Fresh Ginger for Migraine Relief. Incorporate fresh ginger root into your diet and routine. Here are some simple ways to use the real thing: Add fresh sliced ginger to a cup of tea, or Whip up a smoothie. Have fun experimenting with ingredients that are complementary to your taste buds, or if you’re looking for a good combo to start with, try tossing spinach, kale, pineapple, pear, coconut water (which is super hydrating), and an inch of shaved ginger into the blender.
