I really don’t know what quantities you would need to take but I think you are right about moderation. Just use spices when you want a more tasty meal, you’ll also have health benefits as a lucky bonus.

How much ginger is enough to effect a positive change in ones constitution? Is there such an amount as ‘too much’ ? Same question for Cloves and Nutmeg.
I like to shake nutmeg on my ‘apple a day’, it keeps me from getting tired of eating apples. I do not think there is enough nutmeg on my apples to make much difference to my health but one never knows. So how much is enough and is there such a case as too much? Thanks in Advance.

Mary, that sounds good about the ginger tea and sore throats. My boyfriend has a sore throat at the moment so I’ll tell him to slice up some ginger to make tea.

Hi April! I tried subscribing again after my reboot and it worked! Guess its my browser.

Here in my country we have a tradtional Ginger concoction called ’salabat’ - you just boil ginger with brown sugar and we usually drink it if we have a sore throat or during christmas time we drink it together with a local snack called ‘bibingka’ (rice cake) or ‘puto bumbong’ (dont know how to translate it but its sort of a sticky cake). For the diabetics, they dont add the brown sugar.

Drinking salabat is a lot better than taking medication for the throat. Its natural

Mary, that’s interesting about the ginger. Maybe we should all have more of it to help prevent arthritis.

What seems to be the problem with the RSS? Are there any error messages? It’s working fine for me and other people seem to be subscribing to it OK.

Ginger is a natural anti-biotic and good for inflammation. A friend of mine who had always been in pain due to arthritis started taking ginger tea every evening and after a while, her inflammation and pains disappeared!

I just learned about the good effects of cinnamon esp on diabetics late last year when I visited chicago. I am taking it now.

Great posts you have!

On another note, how come I cant seem to subscribe to your RSS?

Thank you for the information. I have consumed ginger for motion sickness with good results. I’ve also used clove oil as an anesthetic when I have a cold and sore throat. One drop down your throat a few times a day does the job.
