However, according to nutritionists, not everyone is suitable to use ginger every day. Some groups of people may experience the opposite reaction if they use too much or at the wrong time.
People with stomach disease, severe reflux
Ginger is spicy, hot and stimulates the secretion of flavors. For people with severe stomach, duodenal ulcers or esophageal reflux, taking a lot of ginger can cause symptoms to flare up.
Dr. Kyle St aller, a digestive expert at Harvard Medical School, warned: Ginger is beneficial for mild digestion, but for people with severe reflux, it can increase the burning sensation and discomfort of the epigastric area.
Therefore, this group should limit or use ginger in small amounts, according to the doctor's instructions.
People taking anticoagulants
Many studies show that ginger has a mild effect on blood thinning. For people who are taking anticoagulants such as warfarin, aspirin or anti-plate clotting drugs, ginger can increase the risk of bleeding.
American pharmacist Jessica Nouhavandi (Pharmacy Board USA) recommends: "People being treated with anticoagulants should not consume ginger regularly because it can affect the effectiveness and safety of the drug".
This group of patients needs to be closely monitored by doctors if they want to add ginger to their diet.
People with blood clotting disorder or preparing for surgery
Due to the impact on blood clotting, ginger is not suitable for people with thrombocytopenic diseases or congenital blood clotting disorder. Similarly, the Cleveland Clinic Medical Center recommends stopping the use of herbs such as ginger at least 7-10 days before surgery to avoid complications of blood loss during surgery.
For this group, regular use of ginger can be risky, even when used in small doses.
