Using ginger to treat colds can lead to negative consequences, if its combination with drugs is not taken into account. Although ginger is considered a good anti-inflammatory agent, it is better to consult a specialist before using it, said nutritionist Angelica Duval.

“Choosing this kind of natural treatment for yourself, you need to be sure that none of the accompanying diseases there are no contraindications for taking ginger,” she said.

At the same time, Duval emphasized that we are talking about large doses of the plant and the regular basis of its use. According to the nutritionist, the most common mistake is to combine ginger with antipyretic drugs.

In particular, ginger should not be taken together with ibuprofen antipyretics and blood sugar-lowering drugs. Duvall clarified that the plant does not combine with alpha-lipoic acid, chromium, ginseng, psyllium and garlic, the extract of which some people take. “Ginger also lowers blood sugar, and this indicator can drop significantly,” the doctor explained.
