Ginger is often praised for its powerful anti-inflammatory and digestive properties. It’s a popular home remedy for nausea, colds, and muscle aches—and for most people, it’s completely safe.
However, not everyone responds well to ginger. In fact, for some people with certain health conditions, regular or excessive ginger consumption may do more harm than good.
Here are five health situations where you should think twice before adding these foods to your diet. There are also safer and healthier alternatives.
1. 🩸 People with blood clotting disorders or taking blood thinners: Why not use ginger?
Ginger contains natural substances that thin the blood and prevent it from clotting. While it can reduce inflammation and improve circulation in healthy individuals, it poses a risk to those with bleeding disorders or taking blood-thinning medications such as warfarin, aspirin, or clopidogrel.
Too much ginger may increase the risk of prolonged bleeding, bruising, or nosebleeds, especially when combined with other natural blood-thinning medications such as garlic or ginseng.
