Ginger Tea...WOW

[The Assman]

just wanted to say that i just picked up some ginger tea last week...and wow what a difference in hang time. ginger tea is great for blood flow in the body. my flaccid hangs lower all day long, plus this cant be too bad for my routine...seeing that there is always blood flowing. Just wanted to say ppl should check it out, take a few cups a day.....what a difference!!:twisted: :twisted: :twisted:

i heard that ginger ale kills your sperm count, they make ginger ale out of ginger roots, its could be that all soda kills sperm count, along with many other bad things that it does to you, but how are you doind assman nitice any decrease in semen lately?

[Steve Madden]

Would a decrease in sperm mean a decrease in semen? I'd think (or hope, as I want to start taking some ginger for a better hanger) that a decreased sperm count wouldn't affect the load that much since sperm only account for a tiny fraction of ejaculated material.

[Steve Madden]

Plus I'd be interested to see if ginger actually decreases the sperm count. I know it helps women deal with morning sickness.

[Steve Madden]

Where does one get the good fresh ginger root, and how do you tell it's the good stuff? Would they have it at wall-mart or the average grocery store?

[Bootyhound]

I just bought some last week as well, it is good stuff. It is supposed to be healthy. I bought it because I heard it was good for you. You should be able to find it anywhere, if not go to a urban farmers market.

The medical form of ginger historically was called "Jamaica ginger"; it was classified as a stimulant (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stimulant) and carminative (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carminative), and used frequently for dyspepsia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dyspepsia) and colic (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colic). It was also frequently employed to disguise the taste of medicines. Ginger is on the FDA (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Food_and_Drug_Administration)'s 'generally recognized as safe (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generally_recognized_as_safe)' list, though it does interact (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drug_interaction) with some medications (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medication), including warfarin (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warfarin). Ginger is contraindicated (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contraindication) in people suffering from gallstones (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gallstone) as the herb promotes the release of bile (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bile) from the gallbladder (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gallbladder).<SUP class=reference id=_ref-0>[3] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ginger#_note-0)</SUP> Ginger may also decrease joint pain from arthritis (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arthritis), though studies on this have been inconsistent, and may have blood thinning (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anticoagulant) and cholesterol (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cholesterol) lowering properties that may make it useful for treating heart disease (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heart_disease). <SUP class=reference id=_ref-UMMC_0>[4] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ginger#_note-UMMC)</SUP>
The characteristic odor and flavor of ginger root is caused by a mixture of zingerone (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zingerone), shoagoles (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Shoagole&action=edit) and gingerols (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gingerol), volatile oils that compose about one to three percent of the weight of fresh ginger. In laboratory animals, the gingerols increase the motility (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motility) of the gastrointestinal tract (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gastrointestinal_tract) and have analgesic (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Analgesic), sedative (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sedative), antipyretic (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antipyretic) and antibacterial (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antibacterial) properties <SUP class=reference id=_ref-1>[5] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ginger#_note-1)</SUP>

[edit (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Ginger&action=edit&section=4)] Nausea

Ginger has been found effective by multiple studies for treating nausea (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nausea) caused by seasickness (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seasickness), morning sickness (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Morning_sickness) and chemotherapy (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemotherapy),<SUP class=reference id=_ref-2>[6] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ginger#_note-2)</SUP> though ginger was not found superior over a placebo (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Placebo) for post-operative nausea.
Modern research on nausea and motion sickness used approximately 1 gram of ginger powder daily. Though there are claims for efficacy in all causes of nausea, the Physicians Desk Reference (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physicians_Desk_Reference) recommends against taking ginger root for morning sickness commonly associated with pregnancy due to possible mutagenic effects,<SUP class="noprint Template-Fact">[citation needed (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citing_sources)]</SUP> though Chinese (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/China) women have traditionally used ginger root during pregnancy (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pregnancy) to combat morning sickness and the Natural Medicines Comprehensive Database states that it is likely safe for use in pregnancy when consumed in food-amounts.<SUP class="noprint Template-Fact">[citation needed (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citing_sources)]</SUP>

[[URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Ginger&action=edit&section=5"]edit (http://www.cheekycherry.com/ccforums/)] Folk medicinal uses

Tea brewed from this root is a folk remedy for colds. Ginger ale (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ginger_ale) and ginger beer (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ginger_beer) have been recommended as "stomach settlers" for generations in countries where the beverages are made and ginger water was commonly used to avoid heat cramps (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cramp) in the US (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States). Ginger has also been historically used to treat inflammation, with some scientific studies some support and some showing ginger no better than placebo or ibuprofen (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ibuprofen).<SUP class=reference id=_ref-UMMC_1>[4] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ginger#_note-UMMC)</SUP>

shiiiit, theres all the info anyone needs right there, sweet post! ive been using it for a lil while now, and haven't noticed any decrease in sperm count. but dont take my advice because right now im on a test booster so sperm count is already a bit heightened. peaaaacccce:twisted:

[K-man]

Excellent post Booty, reps coming your way.:wink:

[Baseballer8]

Sperm count does not equal semen volume :roll: Unless you are counting swimmers under a microscope there is no telling what your sperm count is.

[Steve Madden]

So this is pre-packaged tea (in bags), like in the Tetley's isle? I was looking for actual ginger root, but I couldn't find an herb section in the black hole that is Walmart.

[The Assman]

i went to a store called nutrition house, i dont know if they have it anywhere else...i've never seen it anywhere else. and yes it's just in a box in tea bags, like any other tea.

[boner7484]

the fresh root works way better, and is probably cheaper too.

[Steve Madden]

Where can you get that? The only health stores I'm aware of sell vitamins and stuff.

[Spike]

I've seen fresh ginger root in the fruit & veg section of the supermarket.

[Bootyhound]

I make a mean Lemon-Ginger chicken. Get some Bok-Choy(oriental cabbage), cut length wise don't hack/dice the veggies up. Cut em nice. green onions, brocolli, shiitake mushrooms stir fry oil, 1/2 bell pepper (any color) stir fry but don't over cook. If you want it spicy add a little bit of chili pepper or asain hot pepper (not too much)


cube some chicken breast season stir fry with a pinch of five spice, ginger, garlic, salt, pepper. Stir fry chicken seperate.

Of course when you cook the stir fry, and chicken splash on some Soy Sauce

Cook some white rice on the side

make the sauce, add everything and cook on low and stir

2 tablepoons of diced ginger
1 tablespoon honey
3 Lemons (juice)
1/3 cup of water
splash of OJ
table spoon of corn starch or flour ( to thicken)

You should be able to finish the rest on your own.

[jason12]

Sounds pretty dam delicious!

[Bootyhound]

Yeah its really damn good, and pretty healthy...

Oh yeah, I need to add a 1/3 of a cup of water to sauce the recipe.

I have been eating an Asian and Mediterranean diet, which means I need to cook more.

It's also fairly easy to cook and you could look like a stud if you cooked for some broad with it.
