Using Ginger Root has many benefits. It can be used for treating such
elements as common colds, flu, headaches, motion sickness, athletes foot, etc. Grandma was right. When you were a kid with an upset stomach or the flu and she gave you flat ginger ale and saltines instead of medicine, she knew what she was doing.

If you sold that stuff as "tea" in France, you could go to jail for as long as 35 years. --scott -- "C'est un Nagra. C'est suisse, et tres, tres precis." |

I find it really helps ease stomach discomfort as well. But of course, always talking to a family doctor is a good idea, if you have a serious illness or you are pregnant. I guess being Canadian has many benifits. We sell Ginger tea and ginger root in health food stores and grocery stores all around here. Thanks for you input!

You been smokin' that stuff since the 60s? He didn't say you would go to jail for using ginger. He said you could go to jail for calling it "tea" -- in France. -- |
