"Ginger at a daily dose of 0.5-to-1 gram significantly aids in the reduction of chemotherapy-related nausea on the first day of chemotherapy, and reduced nausea will lead to improved quality of life in many cancer patients," said Julie Ryan, an assistant professor of dermatology and radiation oncology at the James P. Wilmot Cancer Center at the University of Rochester.
Ginger is called 'the universal medicine' for its therapeutic effects in various diseases such as flu, nausea and muscular pains.The trial participants, mostly women and mostly breast cancer patients, were also taking conventional drugs to quell vomiting.
