Gingerbread

Do you know that ginger has anti-nausea properties? Ginger tea, gingerbread, ginger cookies are wonderful for combating nausea. I used to work as an RN in oncology. We'd give our patients gingerbread or ginger cookies and warm tea. It cut down on the nausea meds we'd have to give them by over 50%. CAUTION: If you give raw ginger, DO NOT give more than 1/4 teaspoon/day. It can be toxic to the liver if ingested in large amounts.
