Nausea
Chewing raw ginger or drinking ginger tea is a common home remedy for nausea during cancertreatment. Taking ginger for motion sickness seems to reduce feelings of nausea, but it does not appear to prevent vomiting.

Adding a slice of lemon or a drop of honey adds flavor and additional benefits, including vitamin C and antibacterial properties.
Pain reduction
A study involving 74 volunteers carried out at the University of Georgia found that daily ginger supplementation reduced exercise- induced muscle pain by 25 percent.
Inflammation
Ginger has been used for centuries to reduce inflammation and treat inflammatory conditions. A study published in Cancer Prevention Research journal reported that ginger supplements, which are available to buy online, reduced the risk of colorectal cancer developing in the bowel of 20 volunteers.
