Ginger Instructions

[2XCruiser]

Can someone post the instructions on taking ginger before and during cruise to prevent sea sickness. Thank you.

Have two caps each meal. Two more at bed depending on type and strength which should be on the bottle.

I had read many different opinions on how much to take. I took one capsule, four times a day (each meal and bedtime) and then popped an extra capsule if I began to feel the least bit sick.

 

I started taking it two days prior to the cruise. And kept taking it, even if I felt fine, just in case the seas suddenly changed.

Thanks for the info. Is there a difference between Ginger and Ginger Root?

[geoherb]

Ginger and ginger root are the same. I prefer to eat crystallized ginger instead of taking capsules. I've also brought some ginger teabags and ginger candy on cruises.

Don't take ginger if you're pregnant. It can cause birth defects.

I've heard that it also makes your breath smell good. Is that true?

[critterchick]

It makes your breath nice and spicy! We took some ginger Altoids with us - I popped a couple before we sailed. They are very strong, but we really liked them. It turned out that the ocean was like glass the entire trip from LA to Vancouver, but I kept eating them. And the ginger gummy bears I found were good, too!:D
