Quite alright, came across very well... made me smile.

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

Didn't know about either of those things. Wonder about dosages too though. Often you have to have a certain amount and chronic dosing to achieve such effects. I'm going to read more about this though. Thanks for the info.

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.

Thanks, Lara. I also use it in stir fries, in slivers. I reminded myself, while freaking out, that I've eaten it raw before. (However I'd never do that when having burning feelings to start with.) I will eat ginger powder to treat nausea. I will also suck on a raw slice if I have fresh... and eventually chew it and eat it. Yeah, I was concerned about it being a flat slice and adhering someplace. It had most of its punch drawn out though. It should be ok.
Indian friends introduced me to what they called ginger candy when I was a kid. It sounds like the crystallized ginger you describe. Here we can sometimes find it done sort of that way, but in slices.
I love that stuff.
