What to know about ginger
Ginger is graded high in salicylates, which is the honest catch: it is one of the most reliable natural remedies for nausea and it is strongly anti-inflammatory, yet the same root is a genuine trigger for people who are salicylate sensitive. If ginger tea, ginger shots or a lot of fresh ginger leave you flushed, itchy or headachy, salicylates are the likely reason even though ginger is a healthy choice for most people.
Watch for
- High in salicylates, so ginger tea, ginger shots and heavy fresh ginger can trigger salicylate-sensitive people despite ginger reputation
- Strongly anti-inflammatory and a well-studied anti-nausea remedy, so for most people the concern is salicylate sensitivity specifically
- Low in histamine and only moderate FODMAP, so ginger usually fits low-histamine and low-FODMAP diets; salicylate is the sticking point
