Yes and yes: Ginger has many health benefits- it is a powerful anti-inflammatory, soothes the stomach, treats nausea, morning sickness & motion sickness, is anti-microbial, may prevent colon, ovarian & other cancers and be effective in treating certain cancers. It is very safe. See www.Whfoods.Com/genpage.Php?Tname=foodspice&dbid=72 to learn more.
