Sorry I made a bit of a joke about the sea sickness/nausea when you were so worried.
I thought it might help.

Ginger apparently reduces cortisol too.
Can also work as a laxative. It has many uses.

I've eaten almost raw ginger in stir fries. My favourite ginger is crystalized ginger. We used to buy it from China in beautifully coloured round crockery jars with lids. Haven't seen those in years.

I'm just glad it didn't get stuck and/or burn your oesophagus on the way down Waves.
