A member asked:

Zofran (ondansetron) hasn't been working. can 1000mg ginger capsule help with nausea due to anxiety? recently tried it & possibly helped. psychological or physical?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Effect of ginger: Ginger root helps seasickness and motion sickness, and does help nausea caused by many etiologies. So, your 1000 mg ginger root capsule does in fact work fairly well. In my experience, seems equivalent to many prescriptions, and OTC meclizine and dramamine (dimenhydrinate).
