Ginger has a lot of therapeutic properties which might cause people to overuse this herb. Consuming too much of fresh ginger root can cause heartburn, diarrhea, mouth irritation, sleepiness (minor sedation), belching, bloating, gas and nausea, and aggravate stomach ulcers and inflammatory bowel disease.
Ginger has anti coagulant (blood thinning) properties that might heighten the effect of or interfere with Anti-coagulant/Anti-platelet drugs medications. Some women have reported extra menstrual bleeding and pregnant women are recommended to avoid ginger (used normally to avoid morning sickness) before the last few months of delivery.
Ginger may also lower your blood sugar, which could cause problems if you have diabetes or hypoglycemia. Talk to your doctor and adjust your diabetes medications.
