How to use ginger safely
Ginger can either be administered raw in natural ginger root, powdered ginger, and ginger hard candies.
When using raw ginger, ensure to remove the skin, which resembles tree bark. Now slice it befittingly (a piece would be about an inch) and wash it properly.
You may take it raw (chewing the root to a pulp), add it to soup, or administer it as ready homemade ginger tea. Your daily ginger consumption should never exceed 4 grams. This is the equivalent of one tablespoon daily.
While raw ginger is the best way to administer this herb, there is a less intense alternative in the form of ginger candies. These are readily available in pharmacy stores, your local grocery store, or even on Amazon.
Before consuming, spare some time to study the warnings and instructions (as to serving) on the package.
Lastly, you can resort to powdered ginger. This is commonly used as a food seasoning. Easily acquirable in grocery stores, the likes of Gingerbread bundt cake and whoopie pies are some fantastic recipes you can work with powdered ginger flavor.
Keep in mind that ginger powder is significantly concentrated. Consequently, your daily intake of ginger powder should never exceed two teaspoons.
