As a tonic, Ginger Root does many things, but Motion sickness and Vertigo are the ailments that you would bring ginger capsules with you for.
When my teenager gets dizzy at the amusement park, Ginger Capsules help her get over her nausea and stops her head from spinning. When I am on a ferry and get a little sea sick, Ginger capsules help me regain my balance. Usually I take them about a half hour prior to departing and I avoid the symptoms. My daughter also takes Ginger capsules when we go for a long trip and she has to sit in the back of our van to avoid car sickness. In all these applications the “Ginger Root Capsules” work and work well!
Ordinarily, I make my own capsules from “Cerified Organic” ginger root powder. However, sometimes I just don’t have the time or I run out of the ginger root powder. These “Swanson Ginger Root capsules” are less expensive and they work for these applications just as well as the home-made capsules.
WHAT ELSE IS GINGER GOOD FOR?
Glad you asked, here’s the list in descending order alphabetically according to “Healthnotes”;
[DOCUMENTED] Epilepsy (in combination with bupleurum, peony root, pinellia root, cassia bark, jujube fruit, Asian ginseng root, Asian scullcap root, and licorice root), Indigestion, Irritable bowel syndrome (Chinese herbal combination formula containing wormwood, ginger, bupleurum, schisandra, dan shen, and other extracts), Morning sickness,Nausea and vomiting following surgery, Nausea following chemotherapy, Pre- and post-surgery health, Vertigo.
[ANECDOTAL EVIDENCE] Atherosclerosis,Hay fever (Sho-seiryu-to: contains licorice, cassia bark, schisandra, ma huang [ephedra], ginger, peony root, pinellia, and asiasarum root), HIV support (in combination with bupleurum, peony root, pinellia root, cassia bark, ginger root, jujube fruit, Asian ginseng root, Asian scullcap root, and licorice root), Low back pain, Migraine headaches, Rheumatoid arthritis.
Anecdotal evidence means, people say they have used it and it works. Like I claim it helps my daughter and I against motion sickness. However, there is strong documentation from double-blind studies proving ginger root’s effectiveness against motion sickness which is why it is listed in the “most strongly documented” group by “Healthnotes”.
ABOUT BRANDS:
For price and value its hard to beat “Swanson”. “Nature’s Way” would usually be my first choice with the “Now” brand second when I don’t have the opportunity to use my own certified organic powder.

I like to go duck hunting but sometimes get motion sickness; especially if we are having a couple of beers.
this ginger product is well worth the money. I usually take it about 1 hour before I get on the boat and it works okay most of the time but not 100%.
