Hi everyone, our 18 month old cat, Smudge, has been diagnosed with mediastinal lymphoma. Any donation, big or small, would be greatly appreciated to help pay for his rapidly increasing veterinary expenses. Thank you❤️
Before and during my Mother-in-law Muriel going thru her chemo. The wife shaved the sides of her head, but she's shy about social media. I loathe cancer.
Recently a friend had surgery and the medication he was being given (Oxycodone, Zopidem, Xanax and Clonidine) was making him nauseous to the extreme. After googling possible natural remedies, we discovered that ginger is the best thing for nausea. And we just happened to have some Cinnamon ginger tea. According the healthline ginger gets its medicinal properties from gingerol, the main bioactive component in fresh ginger, as well as Shogaols found more concentrated in dried ginger, with 6-shogaol being its main source of antioxidants. Luckily our Cinnamon ginger tea has the best of both Worlds. We use dried ginger as the base so it should have plenty of shogaols. Then we added premium quality Ceylon ginger oil with 29% gingerol (near the maximum possible) so our tea has gingerol only found in fresh ginger. Finally, we added the best Ceylon Cinnamon Bark Oil to add that sublime taste and its own health properties. No other ginger tea in the market comes remotely close to delivering the real benefits of ginger likes ours. Many manufactures add ginger flavoring and a heavy dose of black pepper and other spices to make up for the weakness in dried ginger which lacks gingerol. Interesting wouldn’t you say? However pregnant woman SHOULD NOT take ginger or cinnamon as it may cause premature uterine contractions, and worsen bleeding. The same applies to those taking blood thinning medications or those with gall bladder disease. Avoid in that case. But if you having nausea from chemotherapy or surgery, have intestinal cramps, experience bloating ginger may be a good solution. Give it a try and let us know. However, you must take ginger in the right dose and frequency as too much will give you heartburn, gas, diarrhea, or stomach pain. Less is more. There is a sweet spot which varies with the individual. But the best part about ginger and cinnamon is that keeps your body warm in winter and keeps that blood circulating well. Just a little mind you. Don’t overdo it.
