Zingiber officinale Roscoe
Ginger raises blood pressure with ADPKD and can increase stomach acids. Though ginger is recommended for motion sickness, a few susceptible individuals have noticed it increases stomach acids and raises blood pressure. Ginger keeps the blood thin and circulating; important for some of us with huge organs pressing against vessels. This might be helpful if blood pressure is low to help raise the blood pressure and prevent clots from forming within squeezed vessels troubled with a sluggish blood flow. Ginger is to be stopped two weeks before any expected surgery because it does thin the blood. Raw ginger maybe too harsh if you are prone to stomach ulcers.
Ginger tea helps fight morning sickness, chronic indigestion, and can relieve joint pain caused by osteoarthristis.
