Talk:Ginger

message: In several sections of the article, it mentions that Ginger is used as a "main ingredient in traditional medicines", but nowhere does it say how it was used, or which symptoms it was historically used to treat.  Most other herbs have this information listed in their articles, so it seems like an omission here.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.43.48.19 (talk) 14:04, 2 November 2022 (UTC)

thread_title: Wiki Education assignment: Traditional Chinese Medicine

message: This review reaches no new conclusions (confirms a possible antiemetic effect) about consuming ginger and human health. As the authors state, the evidence is poor due to low study quality. The source only adds to the conclusion in the Research section that evidence for ginger having any health effect is inconsistent. The statement added with the source by  - A 2022 umbrella review published by the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition summarize the scientific findings about ginger - is useless.

replies: text: The article in the German Wikipedia says that the German ministry of health recommends it for nausea https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ingwer. This is a well-known fact, but this articles makes everye effort to suppreess it. Here is an e-mail I sent to the Indian Ministry of Commerce:  "India is the world's biggest ginger exporter. The English-language Wikipedia article "Ginger" omits the medicinal properties of ginger. People don't know it's useful against nausea and arthritis. I corrected the Wikipedia article once already, but my correction was reverted, presumably by pharmacy companies."  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Banderswipe (talk • contribs) 00:13, 11 December 2022 (UTC)

thread_title:  Inconclusive effects on human health 

message: There is an incorrect statement which requires revision in the Wikipedia article on the herb Ginger (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ginger).
In the article, the assertion is made "Although used in traditional medicine and as a dietary supplement, there is no good evidence that consuming ginger or its extracts has any effect on human health or as a treatment for diseases.". It is my opinion that this statement is overly broad, and at its core, incorrect.
I substantiate my assertion based on the following three articles:
Herbs at a Glance: Ginger National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health - Health Information - Ginger - https://www.nccih.nih.gov/health/ginger - Retrieved 7/8/2023

Bioactive Compounds and Bioactivities of Ginger (Zingiber officinale Roscoe)
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6616534/ - Retrieved 7/8/2023
Based on this evidence, I request that an editor appropriately revise the allegedly incorrect statement made previously F.M. 'Doc'  Waterman (talk) 19:20, 8 July 2023 (UTC)
