Guest guest Posted January 17, 2000 Report Share Posted January 17, 2000 Don't forget that Orange eo is also good for morning sickness. One can also use a drop or two of ginger, peppermint, or orange on two small pieces of cotton and stick each piece of cotton loosely in the ear for amost immediate relief from morning sickness. I got this out of Maggie Tisserand's Aromatherapy for Women book written in the middle 80's. She had used this method for morning sickness and for her 4 children (I think 4 is right) while they were growing up. I've been using this method for allergies and headaches for over 15 years myself with excellent results. The cotton balls can stay in the ears as long a time or as short a time as needed. Your body heat time releases the eos over a period of time, like several hours.

I use it in lotion also. I add it to my goat milk lotion. I love ginger. I use it in tea when feeling sick or down or just need warming inside. It is beautiful and wonderful. I am thankful for it. I would like to grow it but I guess in VT that is often hard! I forgot to write about it. I was reading the other stuff and felt blown away by it. Well thanks for asking! Kym >> Kym Ginger adapts well to indoor pot culture. Get a piece of fresh ginger from your produce department with a few lightening nubs, place it (horizontally) on top of a pot of sterlized potting medium with a light covering of the growing medium over it. Add a bit of water and wait for the miracle of growth! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 18, 2000 Report Share Posted January 18, 2000 Hello Zo Muscular pain oil mixture containing ginger: 10ml vegetable oil (or you could use arnica oil) 3 drops ginger 2 drops rosemary 2 drops eucalyptus This is an example. You could also use camomile (either Roman or German), lavender, marjoram, juniper, lemon and so on. As for using massage cream or anything else like gel for instance, the formula is the same: usually half as many drops as mls, ie 5 drops in 10ml. Though for a specific area like a calf muscle for example, you could use up to 10 drops per 10ml. In the recipe above I have used 7 drops in 10ml. That's 2 teaspoonsful. Don't know how many ounces. Hope you have fun. Helen in Cape Town Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 19, 2000 Report Share Posted January 19, 2000 Thanks for this tip! I was wondering if this could be grown in a pot. I just didn't know how to lay it in. I've got to get a piece going! Does it need any kind of food? Any type of lighting? Lynn Foxhillers Ginger adapts well to indoor pot culture.

Give it your brightest light in winter, but it does not need the amount of light some other herbs do like rosemary,. basil, sweet bay. Pretend it's an Aloe vera or a sanseveria........
