Ginger effectively supports cancer patients

Ginger can help alleviate nausea caused by cancer drugs and is especially effective when used in the lowest doses.

This is the research result made by scientists at Rochester University (USA) and announced on 14/5.

Scientists have conducted research with 644 people with cancer who are being treated with chemicals and common antiemetic drugs.

They were divided into groups and took one of 3 doses of ginger powder 0.5g, 1g and 1.5g within 6 days, started taking 3 days before each chemotherapy session.

The results showed that both vomiting in all these patients decreased, but the group taking ginger powder at 0.5g and 1g doses had the best results.

These patients had an average of 2 vomiting episodes on average each day and about 40% of patients significantly reduced nausea than when treated with chemicals without taking ginger powder.
